for SATB (with divisions) unaccompaniedFirst performed by the Choir of St Luke's Episcopal Church, Evanston, Illinois, in 2016, this powerful motet sets a reflective text by Augustine of Hippo. Connoisseurs of Jackson's music will recognise the hallmarks of his highly accessible style: inventive harmony that is largely diatonic but never plain, and textures that encompass the blazingly sonorous and the expressively intimate.
This work serves as a contemporary choral setting of a reflective text by Augustine of Hippo, designed for SATB performance. The composer, Jackson Gabriel, utilizes his established musical framework to interpret liturgical themes through a modern lens. The piece functions as a motet, balancing technical vocal requirements with accessible harmonic structures.
