Pivot of the Sun's Rising - Tuba Euphonium Quartet

This new work for tuba/euphonium quartet is a fugue based on the Gregorian Chant "A Solis Ortus Cardine". The Latin text is: A solis ortus cardine Ad usque terrae limitem Christum canamus Principem Natum Maria Virgine. The nineteenth century translation by John Mason Neale is: From the pivot of the sun's rising To the farthest edge of the earth Let us sing to Christ our Lord Born of the virgin Mary.
