About the score: Choral setting of the exquisite poem by Welsh born XVII century English poet George Herbert, was composed in 2004. The verses of this Anglican priest, who was a contemporary of John Donne, describe beautifully a dialog between 'Love’ (the Divine) and the human being. My score attempts to illustrate the dramatic progression of this spiritual dialogue in which the eternal ´Love´ gives himself up to welcome the human being with merciful insistence as a privileged guest at a mystical meal. To make this dialogue clear, the choir takes the voice of human nature, full of shame and guilt, while the Trebles assume the voice of the Divine Love, full of mercy and compassion. Neither the choosing of trebles nor the number 3 is casual. Childhood evokes naturally ideas of love and purity which are attributes of God himself, thus trebles seemed to me an appropriate choice to represent the voice of “Love” and the fact that there are three, is an intended reference to the Christian doctrine of the Trinity.

An arrangement for orchestra accompanies this score originally written for mixed choir, treble voices & pipe organ. This arrangement implies the presence of a large choir. If it is going to be sung by smaller choir it would need to be adapted to suit a chamber orchestra in order to achieve the correct balance between orchestral and vocal forces.
