View the Score

Anselm of Canterbury (c. 1033 – 21 April 1109), a benedictine abbot and philosopher and theologian, left significant writings, some of great complexity. Others, like this simple prayer, convey a deep longing for a closeness to God. This setting was composed for joint performance by the Caritas Chamber Choir (Canterbury, UK) and the Saint Mary’s University Chamber Singers (Winona, Minnesota, USA), on March 2nd, 2017.

    The clear, rinsed sound of Women’s voices is hardly more thrilling than in the recital of rounds.
