Kerry Milan's COMPLETUS is a significant new work for Double SATB choir.

It is a setting of texts taken from or associated with the service of Compline, the last of the eight services comprising the Divine Office.  It contains some of its most beautiful prayers; but apart from Simeon's great song of praise most have rarely if ever been set to music, perhaps because Compline was most commonly a said service, except for high days and holidays.

The six movements are:

1. Qui Habitat (psalm 91/XC) (Whoso dwelleth)

2. Nunc Dimittis

3. Keep me as the apple of an eye with Lighten our darkness

4: Look Down O Lord with Be present O merciful God

5. O Lord, support us all the day long

6. O Radiant Light (O Splendor Gloriae)

Although the work is to be sung a capella, there are optional Trombone Quartet  parts (ATTB) for the third movement.
The whole piece lasts some 32 minutes.

FULL DETAILS ARE AVAILABLE ON A DEDICATED WEBSITE, where sample pages may be accessed,
together with sound clips, a full text, and order forms in sterling, US dollars, and euros.
