This work was inspired by the nuptial Mass of a former student, who had arranged for her chorus to sing for the ceremony. One of the texts read at the wedding was the passage from the Song of Solomon used in this work. The approach is joyful rather than romantic, the vocal parts approachable but interesting thanks to rhythmic interplay and a variety of textures. The piano part adds to the dance-like mood.
