Description: In this unusual book, libertarian Richard Kostelanetz explores religious sentiments in the form of the motet. This book is a series of words meant to be sung or spoken. The overall effect is one of wonder and awe at the mystery of the unspoken God. Qualities of the divine are brought to life as this piece is performed. QUALITIES I: Polysyllabic Motets for Performance can be sung or recited, or it can be read for the pleasure of the inner ear. Imagination will bring this work to its fullest expression. For amateur as well as professional choir.
