Rorate Caeli
By Dominic McGonigal, arranged by Dominic McGonigal
For Choir a cappella, or with organ (2023), 2'40" mins.
Instruments: Organ (optional)
Words from Introit for 4th Sunday in Advent (Is.45:8 & Ps.18). Liturgically appropriate for Advent or any liturgy where the theme is repentance, expectation (Virgin Mary) or comfort. Peter Tranchell was an inspirational composer, academic and teacher. He was a great inspiration to me as a student, giving insight into music through architecture and literature. Rorate Caeli is an opportunity to repay that inspiration several decades later. The single phrase countertenor solo is a reminder of the all male choir at Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge, which was such an important part of Peter's life. 2'40".
