A motet for 12 solo voices, setting verses from Psalm 147 in Latin. The piece employs mirror inversions and other musical manifestations of symmetry to reflect the order and symmetry of the natural world, to which the text refers. (See page 2 of the preview for an English translation of the text.)
The outer sections of the 3-minute piece are static, dissonant, and powerful; the middle section is more active and expressive, with various groupings of six voices contrasting with the full ensemble. All the groupings, ranges, spacings, and doublings, as well as the harmonies themselves, are calculated to create intriguing and exciting sonorities unique to an ensemble of 12 solo voices.
Note that the audio sample is midi-derived, and uses an organ tone -- it should be considered a representation of the music's pitches and rhythms only!
