If Only the World (Ubi Caritas) [HL:466842]

We believe the “Ubi Caritas” chant came from the 8th century, and it has been further enhanced by many of the best composers over the ages. This setting brings many fresh colors into view, but most notable is the narrative section, which requires singers to complete the sentence, “If only the world could...” and share it at a point in the music. It is a powerful and unique addition to this song of unity and love. For high school and college choirs.
