The beautiful choral writing of Javier Busto speaks to the heart. His Ave Maria is one of the great works, which permits a choir to perform to the fullest, emotionally as well as technically. A fine choice for a festival program. Available: SATB.
For the setting of Lux Aurumque, the composer chose the Latin translation of an Edward Esch poem, enhancing the elegant simplicity of this new work. The tight harmonies will need to be carefully balanced by a well trained a cappella choir. Suitable for an advanced high school choir and beyond. Moderately difficult.
