Summary of This Score
This score offers a motet by Karl Jenkins, in a style that is both meditative, luminous, and immediately singable. Designed for mixed choir a cappella, it highlights the purity of vocal lines and the clarity of polyphony, while remaining accessible for demanding amateur ensembles, school choirs, or parish groups.
The composer brings together new pieces as well as arrangements drawn from selected movements among his most popular titles, making it an excellent entry point into his choral universe. The Latin language enhances the sacred color and timelessness of the text, while the writing encourages ensemble cohesion, shared breathing, and homogeneous projection.
Although the work is intended to be performed without accompaniment, the presence of an optional piano or organ allows for securing intonation and supporting the sections during rehearsals, or providing discreet backing in performance situations. Note: in addition to the complete vocal collection, all 19 motets are also available in separate editions, a format particularly convenient for creating a customized program.
These motets have been recorded by Stephen Layton and Polyphony on Deutsche Grammophon, attesting to their place in the contemporary choral repertoire.
