Martin, Matthew – O Oriens. SATB and organ (CSS)

Description

Commissioned for the Choir of St Paul’s Cathedral, this superb festive choral work brings together the traditional French melody of Veni, veni Emmanuel with the Advent Antiphon O Oriens. The relatively accessible choral linesare underpinned by a wonderfully majestic organ accompaniment, which exhibits Matthew Martin’s genius for creating a new sound-world from the perfect balance of tradition and innovation. O Oriens is suitable for Advent servicesand concerts and would be an ideal choice for choirs performing in vast acoustics.
