Dum aurora

Carlotta Ferrari’s Dum aurora for SA voices opens with a sense of gentle, dawning light, setting the scene for the text drawn from the life of Saint Cecilia. The two-part texture is woven with delicate lines that build to moments of quiet power, mirroring the exhortation to the soldiers of Christ. Cecilia’s words, calling them to cast off the works of darkness and put on the armour of light, are treated with clarity and conviction. This setting of a Marian antiphon, sung in Latin, offers a profound spiritual message through its gracefully shaped melodic writing and pure vocal blend.
