Description

An easy SATB Renaissance setting of this Latin evening text. (Compline Responsory for Lent) The middle section is three-part (S.A.T.) and could be done with soloists. Accompanied or un. Just wallow around in these harmonies for a while to soothe your soul. Beautiful (and the slower the better!)

Lyrics

In peace, in true peace I shall sleep and rest.
If I give slumber to my eyes
and to my eyelids drowsiness,
I shall sleep and rest.
