Mark Shepperd: Hark! A Thrilling Voice Is Sounding: Gemischter Chor mit Begleitung

Advent is the season for expectation and mystery and this piece offers both. The voices are accompanied by an English Horn, whose sound is uniquely wonderful. Appropriate for second coming themes as well, the melody is hymn-like and both ancient and new. The choir parts are interesting and thought-provoking.
