Programme Note
THREE AGNUS DEI MOTETS (1983) - for mixed choir
Agnus Dei – to the concluding text of the Christian Mass – consist of three different versions of the my so-called infinity series, presented in an almost objective, sober form: simply diatonic in the first motet (´Lamb of God´) , moving and modulating in the second motet (´who takest away the sins of the world´) and dissonantly chromatic in the third (´grant us peace´).
The motets were written for the Copenhagen Boys Choir.
