From the highly successful Holy Week cantata, Song of the Shadows, here is the incredibly beautiful and lush Agnus Dei. The Latin text, “Behold the Lamb of God,” is always moving, no matter what the arrangement. In this wonderful setting, Joseph Martin has written a soaring duet for soprano and tenor above rich, chant-like chorus and flowing accompaniment. A finely woven tapestry of color and texture, Agnus Dei is a shimmering moment of poignant beauty for Holy Week.
