Matériel : Vocal Score
Based on a text from Micah this meditative work features recitative-like questions answered by imitative voices twining around the notion of what is good. The work closes with simple chordal statements of the final commands to act justly to love mercy and to walk humbly with God. Duration: ca. 2:35.

English, Spanish. Text source: Misa Popular Nicaraguense; Translation: Alice Parker.
From the Calvin Institute of Christian Worship series comes a tantalizing offering for thanksgiving and preparation of gifts. “Te Ofrecemos Padres Nuestro” from “Misa Popular Nicaragüense” has a definite dancelike Latin flair with contrasting three-against-two rhythms. Alice Parker provides a fine English translation, but it would be well worth the effort for Anglo choirs to try their hand at the Spanish, if only the final “Gloria” section. An exciting work with a stunning, ecstatic conclusion.
