- Effective, concise writing
- Particularly suitable for Scholastic Masses, Graduations and Baccalaureates
Description
This a cappella motet (introit) draws its text from the book of Wisdom
9:4-6, 9. With only a moderate level of difficulty in the choral parts, "O
Grant Me Wisdom" attains an intriguing balance of counterpoint and
homophony. The opening theme in the key of a minor is treated
countrapuntally, leading to a brief middle section which alternates pairs of
voices. The opening music returns in A Major and ends in solid chords on
the text, "Wisdom, who knows what is pleasing in your sight, what is good in
your commands, O Lord." This short motet is ideal for any academic Mass
(Opening of the Scholastic Year, Graduation, Baccalaureate) or a general
Mass in which the themes of wisdom and righteousness are explored.
