St. Teresa's Prayer

Set for a cappella SSA choir, this brief homophonic setting beautifully conveys St. Teresa's message of discipleship and ministry, saying that "Christ has no body now but yours." The syncopations and mixed meter simply serve the speech patterns of the text and, thus, the piece sings easily. A polyphonic flourish neatly closes the piece. With its satisfying dynamic arc, this will be an effective piece that works well at various liturgical moments.
