About Caeli Enarrent Gloriam
Caeli Enarrent Gloriam is a motet for SATB choir, setting a Latin text from Psalm 19. The music opens with a sense of spaciousness, the voices entering in imitation to build a rich texture. The composer explores the text's declaration of God's glory, expressed through the heavens and the firmament. The music reflects the unfolding message, with sections of dialogue and expansive statements. The text speaks of God's creation proclaiming his glory, a message that goes out to all the earth. This setting aims to convey the grandeur and universality of this ancient psalm.
