About Crux fidelis
Kathryn Rose's Crux fidelis offers a moving two-part setting for treble voices. The composer captures the profound text, a hymn to the True Cross, with a flowing, lyrical melody. The SA voicing allows for a clear and resonant delivery of the Latin words, which speak of the Cross as a noble tree, unique and bearing precious fruit. The English translation, woven alongside the Latin, adds a layer of accessibility to the devotional message. This anthem is well-suited for a range of sacred occasions, providing a beautiful opportunity for young singers to engage with significant liturgical text and expressive, yet manageable, musical lines.
