This choral triptych was premiered in 2011 by Caritas Chamber Chorale and is comprised of three uniquely contrasting texts dating from 1874, 1736 and 1632, and Caritas Composer-In-Residence Wayne Dietterick has chosen equally contrasting musical interpretations for each text.
St. Maurice a Sens Abbe Sebastien Besnault's "The Ancient Law Departs" text from 1736 bears the weight of the reason for the divine birth ("those precious drops of blood") and its cost of shame, pain and death to God in Christ. It is also an introspection of the divinity of the innocent child. In the music there is heaviness, yet a confident surety in conveying the "covenant of peace" that is the gift of Jesus -- given by God -- for all.
The Program Notes were written by Caritas Chamber Chorale Director Barbara Sanderman.
