WHEN OUR RACE IS RUN

When our race is run is an English translation of a line from the latin text of O Nata Lux. I’ve just completed a setting of O Nata Lux for 8, unaccompanied voices (double SATB choir) that incorporates the Latin and English versions. It is effectively 4 verses (the Latin text followed by the English version) with short linking passages. Given that it is reasonably long, I have included an optional ending at the conclusion of the Latin setting. I had imagined it for 8 solo voices, but it could work equally well with balanced numbers per part.

As yet, I have no plans for a first performance. If anyone would be interested in having a look with a view to running / performing the work, I am happy to send a PDF score - Just get in touch!
