Additional info/contents	Dieses Werk basiert auf einer alten Choralmelodie. Das Orchester singt denn auch einige Takte (unisono) 'Kyrie eleison, Christe eleison'. Kunstvoll und variantenreich hat Robert Sheldon Motive der Eingangsmelodie verarbeitet. Obwohl dem Stück eine Choralmelodie zu Grunde liegt, eignet es sich besser für den Konzertsaal wie für Kirchenräume, da das Stück teilweise sehr virtuos und rhythmisch angelegt ist. An ambitious composition by popular composer Robert Sheldon which is based on a ancient psalm-chant that the composer heard sung by a group of monks in Europe. Elements from the chant are used in a variety of ways creating a wide range of textures and moods until the chant reappears at the end of the piece scored for the full ensemble. Unique and challenging music for better bands and wind ensembles that is an effective choice for concert or contest performances.
