Arnold <strong>Rosner</strong><br />
<strong>Agnus</strong> <strong>Dei</strong><br />
In my <strong>op</strong>inion, the “Lamb of God who takest away the sins of the world,”<br />
though normally associated with the Christ, may represent the ideal of godly<br />
mercy to pe<strong>op</strong>le of any faith. It is for this reason that I had no qualms about<br />
setting this text. I feel that the work could be performed in places of worship<br />
regardless of specific faith, or in concert.<br />
The performing group, though it must be large enough to “fill” the hall (especially<br />
at the end where it is divisi à 8), should be kept as small as is practical, in<br />
order to give an impression of meditative intimacy. In fact, except for the need<br />
to add pe<strong>op</strong>le at the end, in a small place (private “chamber,” recording studio)<br />
four solo singers of great ability could suffice.<br />
