In medio Ecclesiae

The voices of the SAT choir entwine in a flowing, devotional setting of a Latin text. Giovanni Briccio’s music captures the solemnity and joy of the sacred words, which speak of wisdom and glory bestowed. The text, drawn from scripture, describes someone opened in the midst of the Church, filled with the spirit of wisdom and understanding, clothed in a robe of glory and finding treasure in gladness and exultation. The composer’s skillful handling of the three parts creates a rich yet clear texture, ideal for liturgical use or as a thoughtful concert item.
