The Sacrifice of Praise

An impressive-sounding concertato arrangement of a three-verse Eucharistic assembly song, this piece can also be used as an Offertory song. Typical of Joncas's writing, the deployment of the vocal forces is inventive and effective without being overly difficult, while the organ writing is supportive and warm without being overly florid or intrusive. The erudite composer notes further contextualize the piece.
