Talia Miracula

Luxurious in harmonic language and choral timbre, this magnificent octavo describes the angel's announcement of Christ's birth to the shepherds. Emerging poetically from stillness, the piece opens organically as the divine light breaks forth in angelic acclamations of "Lux" and "Gloria." Divided voices and evocative dissonances create a substantial sonic stack and the cyclical text returns to the opening silence before ending peacefully.
