Cherubim Bells - Vanguard Premieres Contest 2012 (Honorable Mention)
No. 15 in the oratorio Incarnatus Dei, “Cherubim Bells” is a chorus reflecting the ways God’s presence is made known to the writer in the uttermost stillness of winter. The choir, celesta, and percussion are played softest to bring out the sibilance in the voices, and mute the attacks of the percussion without losing the sonority of the latter. It uses several imposed meters underlying a strophic verse in a 4-beat feel.
(Notes by the composer, 2012)
