Joshua Adams - Three Eucharistic Motets (2019)
These three motets are settings of hymn texts by the influential theologian and writer, Thomas Aquinas. O Salutaris Hostia (O Saving Victim), Panis Angelicus (Bread Of Angels), and Tantum Ergo (Hence So Great A Sacrament) each pertain to the Eucharist - a central aspect of Christianity. The chant melodies of these texts are layered with other material (both derived from the tune and freely written) in a similar fashion to create linked, but unique modern textures - each uses predominately the same pitches, but with different use of modality producing different colours in the sound world.

These recordings are a dedicated effort for this release by some of my dear friends in the gently reverberant acoustic of the chapel at Trinity College, East Perth.
