Publisher's Synopsis

for SATB unaccompanied Setting a collect from the Book of Common Prayer, this introit plays on McDowall's characteristic use of dissonance and modal inflections to create a hypnotic and slightly unsettled soundworld. Sensitively written, this piece makes effective use of varying textures, repetition, and swelling dynamics to reflect and emphasize the imploring nature of the text.
