Advent IV Gradual & Alleluia by Henry Bird Collins — Lyrics
Prope est Dominus omnibus invocantibus eum,
omnibus qui invocant eum in veritate.
Laudem Domini loquetur os meum:
et benedicat omnis caro nomen sanctum ejus.
Alleluia.

About Advent IV Gradual & Alleluia
This setting of the Advent IV Gradual and Alleluia for double choir (SSAATTBB) opens with a sense of anticipation, gradually building in texture and dynamic. The composer Henry Bird Collins crafts a rich sound world for the Latin text, which speaks of God's closeness to those who call on Him and prays for the liberation of Israel. The music reflects the yearning for the Lord's arrival, culminating in the jubilant Alleluia. The work is well-suited for an experienced choir seeking to explore the devotional depth of Gregorian chant in a polyphonic setting.
