Programme note The work mixes a tone of the ancient Latin O magnum mysterium text with a verse of the pilgrim hymn Fair is creation. The Latin parts may overshadow the quoted melody woven into the texture as a color from another era.

Commisioned by the Danish National Girls’ Choir.

Duration c. 3’ Phillip Faber, 2019
