Choral

This first sacred piece of the composer was inspired by a text called Lucis Creator Optime written by Saint Gregory the Great, one of the most influential popes of the Middle Ages. The hymn is part of the Catholic Church’s Sunday evening prayer-meeting (Vespers) throughout the year, therefore it can be heard in every church at least weekly. Thanks to this frequent performance it has become widespread and has been linked with three well-known gregorian chants, while being interpreted by many composers of art music from the renaissance to contemporary as well.
