Other Information
Kerry Milan’s COMPLETUS is a significant new work for Double SATB choir. It is a setting of texts taken from or associated with the service of Compline, the last of the eight services comprising the Divine Office. It contains some of its most beautiful prayers; but apart from Simeon’s great song of praise most have rarely if ever been set to music, perhaps because Compline was most commonly a said service, except for high days and holidays. The six movements are: 1. Qui Habitat (psalm 91/XC) (Whoso dwelleth) 2. Nunc Dimittis 3. Keep me as the apple of an eye with Lighten our darkness 4: Look Down O Lord with Be present O merciful God 5. O Lord, support us all the day long 6. O Radiant Light (O Splendor Gloriae) Although the work is to be sung a capella, there are optional Trombone Quartet parts (ATTB) for the third movement.
