for soloists and SATB unaccompanied Inspired by Rachmaninoff's
All-Night Vigil, Vespers is a 12-movement English-language work in
the Eastern Orthodox tradition. Suited to concert and liturgical
settings, it draws from a variety of Orthodox chant traditions,
with Sheehan's use of asymmetric metres enhancing the textual
expression of the chosen prayers, psalms, and hymns. The work is
infused with a deep religious sentiment, and the artful use of
chiasmus places the ancient hymn 'Phos Hilaron' ('O gladsome
Light') at its centre, defining its supreme message of light and
hope. Virtuosic solos are underpinned by rich choral textures or
offset by characterful interjections, with movements for chorus
alone equal in impact. In a work that considers the past, present,
and future of Orthodox liturgical music in America, Sheehan creates
a distinctly American idiom rooted in the centuries-old Eastern
Orthodox musical tradition, displaying a unique voice that is
cohesively ancient and modern.
