Lauda Sion

This incredibly vibrant, rhythmic, and joyous SSAA (div) work is typical Orban. In its opening statement, pulsating chords in the soprano voices exclaim “Lauda, lauda, lauda” while the altos, in a rich low register, deliver the entire first line of text. And so it goes through the six stanzas of text. Occasional extra beats of rest and huge dynamic contrasts abound.
