Product details
Love is Born is the 6th movement (of 7)
from my Requiem, composed in 2019 for SATB vocal
quartet and organ. The text for this movement,
as for the rest of the Requiem, combines the traditional
Latin Requiem Mass text with excerpts from
Michael Leunig's 'The Prayer Tree'. For Love is Born,
the Leunig poem from which the movement
gets its name is combined with the Latin 'Lux
Aeterna'.
This arrangement for wind
orchestra was made upon the request of my good friend and
colleague David John Lang, as a 'palate
cleanser' for the Adelaide Wind Orchestra's April 2021
concert 'Leunig's Prayer Book'.
It subsequently received its interstate premiere
in May 2021, where it was performed by the Sydney
Conservatorium Wind Orchestra, conducted by
Steven Hillinger.
Love is born
With a dark and troubled face,
When hope is dead
And in the most unlikely place
Love is born.
Love is always born.
-Michael Leunig
from The Prayer Tree
Lux æterna luceat eis, Domine:
Cum Sanctis tuis in æternum:
quia pius es.
(Let everlasting light shine upon them, Lord,
with thy saints for ever,
for Thou art merciful.)
-from the Requiem Mass
