Descrição

Matsushita sets each section of the Offertorium text vividly, in keeping with the style of Renaissance motets. The opening motif soars powerfully upwards over a pedal point in leaps of a fifth and fourth from the starting note of C, before pausing on a chord of superimposed fourths at the word coelo [heaven]. In the corresponding place at the end of the work, the same tender chord is heard en passant at the word “Maria”, a beautiful musical portrayal of the mystery of the Assumption of Mary into heaven. The angels’ rejoicing and the alleluia forms the greater part of the motet: imbued with playful repetitions and eighth note rests, the emphasis in the words is displaced andindividual, dance-like syncopations are created. The dynamic climax of the work is in three upswings at the words “cum Christo regnat in aeternum”, arriving at a radiant B flat major at the word “aeternum” [eternity], chanted forte hymnically over five measures.
