Carr constructs some very nice jazz-like voicing at the beginning of the movement and uses it as a quasi-cantus firmus within the movement. Moreover, the composer has chosen as a cantus firmus the first fou r words and the first fourteen notes of the Introit of the Mass of the Dedication of a Church, Terr bills est locus iste, which he disposes in quasi-canonic fashion in the two lower voices in two groups of seven notes. The cantus firmus, I think, is the portrayal of the Church as freed by the Spirit to interpret its Savior and his summons anew in the light of ongoing experience. |
