Salvator Mundi

Composed for Matthew Redman and Colston’s Girls’ School Chamber Choir, this is a gentle and expressive setting of Salvator Mundi, ideal for upper-voice church choirs and cathedral choirs.

The text is particularly associated with lent and its implorations for mercy lend it a solemn and penitential atmosphere. The dark key of Bb minor reflects this mood, and the long-drawn, expressive melody unfolds over a sensuous chromatic accompaniment.
