Work Overview
The piece is from the Liber Usualis and tells of the risen Lord
and is sung on Easter Sunday. I was thinking of the Easter Sunday
uprising in Ireland which led to irish independence when first
considering setting the piece.
I recently performed this as a piece of solo chant for a
lunchtime concert at St. Paul's Cathedral, Melbourne. I love the
piece and have been granted a composing residency in May 2015 at
the Tyrone Guthrie Centre Ireland to compose a piece called
Memorial for soprano and orchestra, based on this
sequence and my own improvisations as nature. I thought I would
do a voice and piano arrangement first to get to know the piece
really well.
