for SATB (with divisions) unaccompanied
Alan Smith's setting of the Latin hymn at Lauds for The Feast of Transfiguration is stately and solemn. Featuring imitative entries that open out into rich, expansive textures at climactic moments, the anthem is an appealing alternative to the well-known setting by Thomas Tallis.
