Missa Brevis: 4. Benedictus

this might be my favourite.  Also the closest in spirit to Arvo Pärt, maybe?  It holds onto the repetition a lot.  Again, setting both the sounds of the words on the small scale — I absolutely love how “in nomine Domini” feels to speak or sing — and the sense of the words on the large scale: blessedness.

Benedictus qui venit
in nomine Domini.
Osanna in excelsis.

Blessed is He that cometh
in the name of the Lord.
Hosanna in the highest.
