Agnus Dei

 

For many years I loved listening to ancient sacred music. The simplicity of the lyrics and the beauty of a moving melody encaptures anyone willing to just stop and listen.
To that end, I decided to compose and record my version of Agnus Dei with 12 SATB singers from FourForMusic. For lyrics I chose to add some words from the poems of Christina Rosetti and Lord Tenyson, first from the bereaved and then from the departed. I sincerely hope you like it.
