About this arrangement

SATB choir divisi and organ, with optional string quintet - Medium - Digital Download SKU: MQ.50-0074-E Composed by Charles S. Thatcher. Advent, Easter, Triduum/Three Days. Instrument parts. 15 pages. MorningStar Music Publishers - Digital Sheet Music #50-0074-E. Published by MorningStar Music Publishers - Digital Sheet Music (MQ.50-0074-E). English, German, Latin.The poem "Mary the Dawn," while simple in its form, explores rich poetic images of the relationship between Christ and his mother. Charles Thatcher's charming, gentle tune is an apt vehicle for the words. Each stanza is followed by an interlude—a traditional hymn reflecting a key moment in salvation history (Birth, Passion, and Resurrection). Taken as a whole, this celebration of Mary is fitting for liturgy or concert and is also successful when one or more of the interludes are omitted. Parts for string quintet are optional but add to the warmth of the piece. The choral writing is satisfying, with some divisi parts; the interlude hymns are presented in their original language as well as English.
