SATB and organ. Text (John 1:14) in Latin.  Mysterious and beautiful.

Notes: Although these words are well known there are few contemporary settings. Make sure the choir know what the words mean and sing them with commitment and sensitivity. The climax of the piece at bar 22 on ‘gloriam’ should contain glimpses of Christmas wonder and joy. This would be a very effective introit or communion anthem at midnight mass or on the Feast of the Epiphany.
