Written a year before the death she knew was soon to come, this is a gorgeous and powerful masterpiece of orchestration
00:00 A brooding, rumbling introduction gradually grows to great intensity. (2:28) (3:16) The choir enters with intense calmness (4:29)
05:08 A hauntingly expressive plea (6:40)
08:20 The music gains agitated energy. (9:32) The pressure keeps rising until
10:02 An intensely powerful restatement of the plea (10:55)
11:11 Calmness descends upon the piece. Dark, expressive solos color the scene (12:33) The orchestra rejoins as the music picks up energy
12:59 A rhythmic drive propels the music forward into...
13:56 A gloriously powerful climax resplendent with extended chords
14:12 (15:15) A lyrical contralto solo, as the music slowly develops from uneasy to sweet and comforting [The orchestration here is just so good, especially the use of celesta and harp]
17:22 The full choir enters, shining with close moving tight harmonies
18:26 A serene grace envelops the music, a tender alto and tenor duet (19:08) More of the choir joins until...
20:00 An absolutely gorgeous climax, lovingly sweet impressionist harmonies
20:18 (20:40) The music redevelops its brooding intensity (21:20)
21:40 A final intense climax before coming to a stately ending (22:21) (22:58)
