About All Things Are Done
This delightful four-part canon is based on a text that gently reminds us of nature's unhurried yet inevitable progress. The music mirrors this sentiment with its imitative entries and smoothly flowing melodic lines, creating a sense of calm and purpose. As the voices enter one by one, they weave together a rich, harmonious texture that builds organically, reflecting the idea that 'all things are done' through patient development. The English text speaks of a profound, underlying order in the universe, a concept beautifully captured by the composer's skillful use of canonic structure. This piece is ideal for choirs looking for engaging and thoughtful repertoire that is both musically satisfying and philosophically resonant.
