Duration: 41 minutes I. Kyrie – The Choir Vestry II. Gloria in Excelsis III. The Chapter House IV. The Nave – The Bell Tower V. Sanctus VI. Sunday School – Agnus Dei ' Columba Canticles seeks to explore the medium and tradition of devotional music in a fresh and contemporary way. All the movements embrace the convention of including a cantus firmus or plainsong. Several of these Gregorian chants date back to the 9th Century and have, ever since, provided the creative backbone to a vast body of ecclesiastical music. In Columba Canticles , whenever you hear something sung in Latin, you can be sure that somewhere in the background there also hovers one of these ancient chants.'
