Work introduction
Caritas for unaccompanied SATB choir (2007, revised 2014) is based on the text from Hildegard von Bingen’s Antiphon of the Holy Spirit from “Symphonia Armonie Celestium Revelationum.” The complexity of vocal lines mirrors the transparency and emotion of the text. Its uplifting and affectionate portrayal also conveys a sense of inner peace and gratitude. The choral writing expresses profound emotions by using various melodies and rhythms to capture a sense of endlessness and seek out heavenly harmonies.
