Chanticleer: Sound in Spirit

I also admired very much Cor meum est templum sacrum by Patricia van Ness.  This is a setting of a Latin translation of a poem by the composer herself.  I find the poem thoughtful and so too the music.  It's simple and direct and the composer doesn't require any vocal trickery from her singers.  Instead she gives us a happy marriage of words and music.  Some may regard it as too traditional and insufficiently daring but for me it communicates much better with the listener than one or two of the other contemporary pieces included here.
