SATB unaccompanied (with divisions)
This work sets Latin texts by St Augustine of Hippo, Baldwin of Forde, and St Mary Magdalene de Pazzi (the 'three prayers'), in addition to a Doris Kareva's poem 'He who lives in light' (the 'vision of light'). Each movement has a distinct mood: the reflective 'Conversi ad Dominum' is followed by the urgent and pleading 'Aufer a me, Domine'; 'He who lives in light' is an expressive contrast to the surrounding movements, and a serene setting of 'Veni, Sancte Spiritus' closes the
work.
