The sensual language feels almost as if one is listening in on a private conversation. Its strength lies in its simplicity and in the incredible clarity it maintains through the gradual unfolding to the magnificent climax of the piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\tA fragment of Byrds theme was taken as the starting point for Brays Agnus Dei. Harmonically, the piece is built on tone clusters, which were constructed from a germ of the harmonic language of the Byrd. His structure also influenced Bray; he first uses three voices; then four; and finally all five. Bray opts for three clear sections- sopranos and altos, tenors and bass (with the addition of soprano 1), before the whole ensemble is finally heard together for the third climactic section.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\tDuration: 5 minutes\n\u003cbr\u003e30-Licence Download\n\u003cbr\u003eThis is a choral download sold with a licence to make up to 30 copies.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Birdsong","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46750249975970,"sku":"DSM-FB-44264","price":43.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1279\/2287\/files\/c0b3307c-1c19-4706-8136-f7465a7c1b28.jpg?v=1775794022","url":"https:\/\/www.adlibmusic.com.au\/products\/agnus-dei-satb-choir-digital-download","provider":"Adlib Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
