Description
Back in 1975 I wrote the Sanctus, Benedictus and Agnus Dei for three-part choir and guitar which featured, in particular, the richness of the major 7th chord. I gave the score to a friend in hope that his choir would perform it, but I heard no more from him until quite recently.
Meanwhile, however, the Major 7th theme and related tunes were still in my head, and I was able to reference them in some sections of my Suite for Guitar and Orchestra, even though I didn’t have that original choral score.
Then my friend wrote to me in 2024 to say he still had the original score; he sent it to me and I was then finally able to publish the choral version as well.
This video therefore shows the orchestral version followed by its ancestral choral version, in both of which András Csáki has played the guitar part.
