Agnus Dei for SSA Women's Chorus, Violin Solo and Piano SSA - Digital Sheet Music

SKU: A0.882263

"Agnus dei" for SSA Women’s Chorus, Violin Solo, and Piano uses as an inspiration the melody from the aria "Ombra mai fú" from Handel’s opera Serse. The long, lyrical melody borne forward by the steady, quiet, powerful accompaniment conveys a tranquil sacredness. The sense of entreaty and desire for benediction expressed in the "Agnus Dei" seems a natural fit with Handel’s famous melody. A Violin Solo introduction leads to the voice calling out "agnus dei, qui tollis peccata mundi." An instrumental meditation follows leading back to the conclusion of the piece. Arrangements for other ensembles are also available (Vocal Solo, SAB, SATB) as well as separate versions featuring, Solo Violin, Flute, Oboe or Clarinet and soloist with chorus. Difficulty is moderate for the singers, instrumental soloist and pianist and is suitable for a sacred setting or the concert hall. Duration approximately 4 minutes. Score and part included.
