Keara Parciak’s Adoramus Te is a dramatic and deeply expressive setting of the traditional text associated with the contemplation of Christ’s Crucifixion. Scored for SATB choir and piano, the music follows the emotional arc of Christ’s journey to Calvary, moving from solemn procession to an intense climactic moment before closing in a stark unison plea: miserere nobis — “have mercy on us.” Accessible and compelling, Adoramus Te is a work choirs will find immediately rewarding to sing.
