Drop Down Dew, O Heavens (Rorate Coeli)

This anthem, part of a commissioned Mass in memory of Eugene A. Walsh, SS, is for use during the season of Advent. Rorate Coeli, also known as The Advent Prose, comes from Isaiah 45:8. Beautifully set for SATB choir with Soprano and Baritone solos and organ, this piece is ideal for skilled choirs. Its unique harmonies set the tone of Advent, a mysterious journey full of longing for the long-awaited Messiah.
