Written between November 2007 and August 2009, this set of four motets was written for and dedicated to the Choir of Grace Episcopal Church in Newton, Massachusetts, and its director, Dr. Linda J. Clark. The choir sits facing four stained glass windows, each depicting a scene from Christ’s life: birth, baptism, death, and resurrection. Each motet is a choral meditation on one of these windows. The set is written for a choir of any size and composition that can be evenly divided into two voice parts.
O Sons and Daughters (O filli et filliæ): The entire piece simulates the simultaneous ringing of bells to joyously declare the return of the King. Duration: 2:20
