Nunc dimittis

for SATB a cappella choir
Text from Liturgy

Simeon, according to the Gospel of Luke, "was righteous and devout, looking for the consolation of Israel: and the Holy Spirit was upon him.

And it had been revealed unto him by the Holy Spirit, that he should not see death, before he had seen the Lord's Christ".

My music wants to tell the deepness and the force of his prayer when he saw the child Jesus into the Temple of Jerusalem.
