Composed by Laurent Lemmens. Classical,Contemporary,Spiritual. Octavo. 15 pages. Laurent Lemmens #808855. Published by Laurent Lemmens (A0.1211156).Are you looking for a stunning choral piece for your choir's next performance? Add a touch of symbolism to your choir's repertoire with this work for SATB with piano accompaniment.
The lyrics of the short poem (see below) tell a bystander's perspective of a prince (the chosen one) on a quest to answer the call of his bride (the Holy Grail). The choral work is structured exactly like the literary monomyth, which allows the music to guide the audience on a transformative journey alongside the hero.
Not only does this piece have a spiritual message, it also showcases the beauty of SATB harmonies in its tonal-functional approach to expressing the never-ending, yet fulfilling, search for the Holy Grail. The harmonic adventure moves smoothly across the circle of fifths, with each of the 9 plagal modulations renewing a sense of wonder and excitement.
So if you're ready to take your audience on a journey through the literary and musical realms, this choral piece is a must-have for your repertoire.
She calls from far and wide,
wherever you go she shines,
deep in the woods she hides,
the maiden bride you’ll never find,
her call you must abide.
O chosen Prince, you blissful blind,
chase trials and her golden light,
and seek the Grail with all your might.
Do not despair in struggling fight,
eternal joy awaits despite.
