Composer Notes 11 This piece as commissied by Holy Cross Parish in Santa Cruz, California The challenge as for me to rite a setting that could be quickly taught and sung by large group that as to be assembled for its premiere I chose to use an ostinato melody that stayed same, hile changing text The melody is introduced each time by cantor and repeated in unis by choir; harmies, verses, and or instruments are n added There is an abundance verses in this litany, so it s also a good piece for Venerati Cross ood Friday Lord s Passi While short introductory and closing litany are a little complicated rhythmically and harmically, assembly is actually ly ansering a mote Cyprian Csiglio Litany Holy Cross
