Translating from Latin, the title means 'sacred place' and the music reflects the line-based writing and overall musical aesthetic of the medieval and early renaissance-era composers. The piece is an impression of that period techniques while also employing new harmonies paired with the modality of the era. 'Locum Sacrum' is an accessible work for medium level (Grade 2+) string orchestras which stays in one sharp primarily with few accidentals.
