Postquam calix Babylonis
• For SATB (with divisi) choir a
cappella
• Composed in 2005
Postquam calix Babylonis is
my fourth piece based on the Office of St. Olav (c.1170).
The music symbolizes
St Olav's arrival in Norway, and alternates the free-flowing
original plainchant
of the Sequence with contrasting rhythmical passages.
