Ego sum alpha et omega

Carlotta Ferrari’s Ego sum alpha et omega sets a powerful passage from the Book of Revelation. The text, in Latin, is sung by two distinct choirs: SA and TB. This creates a rich, layered soundworld where the two groups engage in a dynamic dialogue. The composer exploits the contrasting timbres of the upper and lower voices to emphasize the text's pronouncements. The music moves with a strong sense of declamation, befitting the scriptural source. This is a striking and effective setting, ideal for choirs seeking substantial yet accessible sacred repertoire. Its clear structural design and confident vocal writing make it a rewarding piece to prepare and present.
