St. Teresa's Prayer

Set for a cappella SSA choir, this brief homophonic setting beautifully conveys St. Teresa_x0019_ s message of discipleship and ministry, saying that _x001C_ Christ has no body now but yours._x001D_ The syncopations and mixed meter simply serve the speech patterns of the text and, thus, the piece sings easily. A polyphonic flourish neatly closes the piece. With its satisfying dynamic arc, this will be an effective piece that works well at various liturgical moments.
