SATB choir, a cappella
SKU: C5.5117
Composed by Calvert Shenk. Text: Missale Romanum. Offertory motet using a noble text. General (Offertory). Octavo. Published by CanticaNOVA Publications (C5.5117).
Calvert Shenk has an affinity for setting Latin texts in a most effective way. This prayer from the Tridentine Mass was recited by the priest during the Offertory, after the water was placed in the chalice. The text translates: "With a spirit of humility and with a contrite heart, let us be received by Thee, O Lord; and let our sacrifice in Thy sight this day be such as pleaseth Thee, O Lord God." This a cappella motet is in strict ABA form. The A section begins homophonically and at the words, "suscipiamur a te" a polyphonic treatment ensues. The B section uses Gregorian psalm tone V, first with unison men, then in a harmonic, faux bourdon phrase with the psalm tone in the tenor voice. The consonant but slightly chromatic harmonies, as well as the very comfortable ranges (e.g. tenor E-flat to E-flat) make this motet a potential favorite for both the choir and the congregation.
