Composer: Charles H. Giffen
Number of voices: 4vv Voicing: SATB

Description: This work is composed in the octatonic scale mode in which B, D, F, and G-sharp are removed from the chromatic scale, and hence the scale consists of alternating whole and half steps. Although essentially tonal, the octatonic mode will seem somewhat unusual to many. The work is appropriate for Ascension or Pentecost.
