About this arrangement

SSATB choir a cappella (SSATB choir a cappella) SKU: AN.AMP-0500 Composed by Z. Randall Stroope. Octavo. Alliance Music Publications #AMP 0500. Published by Alliance Music Publications (AN.AMP-0500). Stroope.About the workCaritas et Amor (Charity and Love) makes frequent brief references to the opening (and well-known) theme of the tenth-century antiphon, Ubi Caritas, and then builds sonic reflections to that theme using new material, albeit in a chant style. In this manner, it fundamentally differs from the Durufle Ubi Caritas in which the original chant forms the majority, if not all, of the thematic material for the work. The composer, Z. Randall Stroope, also incorporates the line Gaudium quod immensum est! (joy that is immense!) which serves as a joyful and sonorous refrain to the sense of compassion and promise inherent in the opening Ubi Caritas text (Where there is charity and love, God is there).Recorded by Northwest Missouri State University Tower ChoirDr. Stephen Town, conductor
