Half-way there
Labels:
music news
I am currently working on the motet Benedicat sit Sancta Trinitas, setting the words from the Introit for Trinity Sunday, when complete this will be the 35th motet which I have written in my sequence Tempus per Annum. When complete the sequence of motets contain some 70 motets setting the texts (in Latin and in English) of the introits for the Sundays and major Feasts of the church's year. Currently Volume 1 is complete (covering Advent and Christmastide). Volume 2 is nearing completion (just 3 to go) and covers Lent, Eastertide, Ascension and Pentecost. The final volume (with some 34 motets) will cover the 32 Sundays of Ordinary time plus a couple of major feasts.
