Leshoni Konanta Elohai

This beautiful anthem with text attributed to 11th-century Andalusian philosopher Solomon ibn Gabirol begins with a unison chant as if sung by the cantor. Each time the chant is sung in Hebrew, it is followed by a full chorus in English in a beautiful litany of sound that cadences into a lovely suspended chord. Only at the conclusion of the piece are the chant and the chorus united in subtle elegance, with a satisfying resolution in the major tonality. Easy to medium in difficulty.
