Cum Angelis

This arresting setting of a Latin text would be a powerful addition to a service at Christmastime, or indeed any occasion celebrating the Nativity. The words Cum angelis et pueris, fideles inveniamur, triumphatori morti clamantes: 'Hosanna in excelsis' speak of angels and children, the faithful, and those crying "Hosanna in the highest" to the triumphant death. Mariano Garau’s SATB setting provides a rich, resonant canvas for this joyful and deeply spiritual message. Its contrapuntal texture and dramatic climaxes serve to enhance the profound theological meaning of the text, making it a compelling choice for a choir seeking a piece of substance and impact.
