Nunc Autem Manet [HL:14041845]

The text is taken from Corinthians 13:13:

Now but three things remain: faith, hope, love. But of these three the greatest – this – is love.

The piece reveals the three fundamental tenets of Christian life with contrasting austere and lush harmonies and brief, contrapuntal episodes, ending with a gently pulsing chord-shift on the word “caritas,” over which the well-known plainsong melody “ubi caritas” can be heard.
