Creator Alme Siderum, by Richard Burchard
-
Just found this gorgeous setting of the Advent chant hymn alternated with polyphonic verses in four parts, a J.W. Pepper offering.
Hope you enjoy it as much as we did. Sure captures the mood of this overcast winter day.

Thank you so much, JulieColl and smvanroode, for posting Burchard's works. Oh, anguished beauty, pained tenderness.
I just finished listening to his Miserere Mei and Ubi Caritas, as well as Creator Alme Siderum, and am thinking of 3 families who lost children to terrible tragedies this past year, and what their hearts are experiencing. -
Music heals.
