Caritas Canon

The traditional Ubi Caritas text is uniquely set as an uptempo jazz waltz. Just one sentence in Latin plus a few English lyrics make it clear that this song is all about “charity and love.” As you’ve come to expect from this composer, the canon is a true skill-builder—with a modal melody that moves from unison to two and eventually three independent layers (using descant singers for 2-part choirs). Don’t miss the jazzy flute obbligato available free online.
