Nova, nova is a setting of a traditional English text from the 15th century, based on St Luke's Gospel. It tells of the angel Gabriel visiting Mary with news that she will give birth to Jesus. The music is jazz-influenced with its bluesy harmonic inflections, rhythmic drive, percussive effects and exuberant energy. In the final section, the mood becomes openly joyful and breaks out into a scene of celebration.
This version is for SATB choir, strings, piano and drum kit (hi-hat, snare drum, tambourine, crash cymbal, bass drum)
