A WORK FOR DOUBLE CHOIR (MAIN CHOIR AND ANTIPHONAL CHOIR) UNACCOMPANIED. IT COULD ALSO BE PERFORMED BY ONE 8-PART CHOIR.
In Halley's setting of "Verbum Caro Factum Est" (The Word made flesh), the mystical with the earthly is suggested in the antiphonal nature of this work. The rhythmic and worldly immediacy of one choir is answered with the ethereal Alleluias of the other.
Commissioned by the Williams College Chamber Choir, Wayne Abercrombie, Director.
