Illumina

"Give light to my eyes, lest I sleep unto death." This simple, yet profound, text has been translated into Latin and given an exquisite a cappella setting by celebrated English composer Patrick Hawes. There is significant divisi in each part, but the simple quarter note texture and pleasing harmonies make it easy to sing while still sounding significant. Gorgeous modern harmonies are highlighted by cluster chords and extended phrases to create a memorable choral experience.
