Alma Redemptoris Mater

This lovely Marian motet by Hungarian composer Gyorgy Orban could be used liturgically during Advent or Christmas. Though likely more useful in a concert setting, the piece is scored for mixed chorus (divisi) with piano. The composer specifically requests that organ not be used. With some of the rhythmic and harmonic characteristics found in Orban's writing, the challenge of this piece will be worth your effort.
