The idea of a litany is the religious repetition of a meaningful phrase, reaching a calm state of spiritual euphoria. In my composition, Litanies, I took a simple, beautiful tune, and subjected it to various repetitions and transformations, through changes of mood, instrumentation, harmony, and melodic direction. That single melody is heard as an idée fixe whether the atmosphere is calm, energetic, dramatic,or majestic.
