Motetto on Words from the Book of Job Feature

Choral Large Works
Samuel Barber (ed. Rosenbaum)
1423404017
SATB Double Chorus a cappella

Motetto on words from the Book of Job was one of Barber's earliest choral works and until this publication, edited by Harold Rosenbaum, existed only as a manuscript in the Library of Congress. Richly harmonic, this work for double chorus is a window into the composer's imagination and craft.
