This piece, heavily inspired by Arvo Pärt's Tintinnabuli, is a simple, yet extremely moving and reflective work for orchestra. Christus Factus Est was originally written for TTBB choir. Hence, the rhythms all come from the text, meaning the Christus Factus Est could be superimposed onto all of these parts. Upon orchestrating the piece for orchestra, I found that it worked much more effectively for strings than for choir, and left it as it was.
It alternates two moving lines over two drones between the voices, giving each part melodic movement. The end of the piece culminates with a combination of both themes played together with their corresponding harmonies in the second voices.
