About
O Antiphon Sequence was conceived as a recital piece, although each of its individual movements would also work in a liturgical context. Each movement is a response to an extract of liturgical text from the 'O Antiphons' used at Vespers during the last seven days of Advent in Western Christian traditions.

Awards and reviews
Textures are varied and thoughtfully crafted, and technical difficulties are not extravagant (although the faster, more minimalist movements will need careful preparation for full effect). Registration suggestions are provided for a two-manual and pedal instrument. The whole piece makes a valuable and atmospheric addition to seasonal repertoire, but there's no reason at all why it shouldn't be played at other times of year as well
