Benedicta is the female wordform of Bene-dictus which is part of the latin mass. The choir sings resp. acts from different positions within the church. The various elements of the piece are the gregorian choral, four-part-song, solistic vocal and dance improvi-sations. Scenes of contemplation or folly alternate and culminate in a festive finale with full choir and organ accompaniment.
