| Reviews | Marrolli's piece would fit well for the Cycle C celebration of the Solemnity of Christ the King, as she interweaves the melody DIVINUM MYSTERIUM ("Of the Father's Love Begotten") through her own composed melody. The text is based on Isaiah 2:4–5 and Romans 13:12, with a repeated theme of peace and walking in the light of the Lord. The men's part is particularly accessible in musical difficulty and vocal range. The simple solo instrument part in both C and B-flat is provided in the score. |

A soothing anthem that exemplifies its message of peace. The violin (with oboe and clarinet substitutes) is reserved the middle of the piece and carries the DIVINUM MYSTERIUM tune, later echoed by the choir. Karen Marrolli's folk-like original music weaves seamlessly with the ancient melody before coming to a delicate close.
