Milan Kaderavek, composer

An original text is set to several melodies, including the plainchant "Jesu dulcis memoria" and the traditional hymn "Jesus Christ is Ris'n Today."

Commissioned by Holy Family Cathedral, Orange, CA, this rich choral enhancement of the Gregorian Pentecost Sequence may be sung in Latin or in a new English version that adheres to the accents of the original. Chosen by Creator magazine as one of the ten best sacred works of 2001.

"A chant-based but harmonically accessible anthem which would work well in the context of Pentecost's 'mystery.' Well done."
from Creator magazine
