Description
Four Motets and a Chorale
Randall Giles
Four Motets and a Chorale are choral interpolations drawn from Randall Giles’ Latin setting of St. John’s Passion. Movements I, II and V have organ accompaniment, primarily derived from the choral parts. Perhaps the best-known of these texts is “Crux fidelis”–Faithful Cross–which is set as a traditional four-part chorale. In the other four movements, Dr. Giles blends chromatic voice leading and varied meters (often within wide tessituras) to augment the naturally expressive sense of the texts.
