Descendit de cælis

for SSATB a cappella choir
Text from Liturgy

To descend from the heavens means to abandon eternity and to encounter space-time.

According to the Christian faith this is what the Son of God did "propter nos homines et propter nostram salutem": for us men and our salvation.

My piece tries to tell this unspeakable moment.

The piece has been performed and recorded by the Rocky Mountain Chamber Choir (Artistic Director: Clifford W. King)
