(Venite Adoremus Dominum)
Voicing: SATB
Composer: John Purifoy
The traditional Christmas text and new music combine to create an introspective work filled with reverent mystery and rich emotion. Set in a rocking 6/8 and minor mode, it opens with back and forth phrases leading into a contrasting homophonic section. Following a modulation, the original melodic material then returns for the final verse.
