About

for solo tenor and SSATB unaccompanied Following Jackson's settings of the seven 'O' antiphons (Seven Advent Antiphons), this is a setting of the text recognised as the eighth 'O' antiphon and performed as such in many Christian traditions. Jackson's imaginative setting features a melismatic line for tenor soloist and aleatoric writing.

Reviews

Jackson's self-styled "essentially contemplative" style is at its most expressive in this ravishing paean to Mary. A tenor solo with rhapsodic ornaments and slides give the flavour at turns of Middle Eastern chant and European folks song while retaining its own individual character . . . Despite some effects that are out of the ordinary for most church choirs, this is some of Jackson's most approachable music. The notes are not particularly difficult, and ranges are modest

Gabriel Jackson wrote this setting for Wells, an addition to his set of Seven Advent Antiphons. Homophonic chords alternate with ecstatic melismas for solo tenor or divided sopranos singing in thirds, all above a second inversion A major chord. The imaginative music is often thrilling and at other times simply serenely beautiful
