Composed by Anonymous. Arranged by David Warin Solomons. 20th Century,Christian,Sacred,World. 7 pages. David Warin Solomons #2031521. Published by David Warin Solomons (A0.576129).Setting of the Byzantine chant for dismissal at the time of Pentecost ... This composition starts with the original chant and then, in this less traditional polyphonic version, it keeps the original rhythms but continues with harmonies reminiscent of John Taverner. For the final - somewhat more extended - repetition, the measure is kept in 6/4 time and the basses provide a Western style ostinato while the original themes weave in canon above them. The sound sample is my own multitrack performance, transposed down a third. The more traditional homophonic version is also available. The score shows the Greek words transcribed into Latin letters, since more choirs can read those. However, the final page of the score provides the original words using Greek letters followed by this English translation: ... Blessed be you, O Christ our God Who showed the fishermen to be most wise you sent the Holy Spirit upon them and through them you caught the inhabited world in your net O Lover of Mankind Glory to you.
