In This Temple

Description

In This Temple
Dr. Thomas Cleman

A festive text based on an early Latin hymn from the Angularis fundamentum.

• toccata-like writing alternates with gentle motion from the organ; a true “fifth” voice
• strong unison vocal parts describe “the temple,” while elegant four part writing illuminates God’s mercy
• series of overlapping “alleluias” and “amens” conclude the work
• great anthem for feast days or the dedication of a church
