Description

Do not neglect is a stand-alone movement from Kim Andre Arnesen's large-scale work, The Stranger, which uses a thought-provoking text from chapter 13 of the Epistle to the Hebrews: 'Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for by doing that some have entertained angels without knowing it'. The text is short, but really worth reflecting on what it means to us, and it is this internal reflection that is portrayed in this beautiful, solemn and largely homophonic setting. This setting is written for choir and cello, one of the composer's favourite combinations, but it may also be performed a cappella. The extracted cello part is included in the vocal score.
