Soul of Christ (Anima Christi)
Evocative and haunting, this English-language setting of the well-known traditional prayer is scored for SAB choir and keyboard; it was inspired by the composer’s Ignatian pilgrimage to Spain and Italy. Musically, the piece makes frequent use of the lowered second scale degree to capture the flavor of some of the Spanish music that the composer heard while there. Most of the piece is atmospheric rather than melodic, with the exception being the “O Good Jesus, hear me” section. It would be an appropriate anthem for any liturgy featuring themes of comfort, eternal life and heaven, Eucharist, water, or the suffering of Christ.
