Let All Mortal Flesh Keep Silence—arr. Craig
Courtney. The French hymn
PICARDY is generally

as the one who will eventually vanquish the
"powers of hell." Consider this impressive setting
for Christmas and for Lenten services, and even for
the concert hall. Scored for more capable choral
forces and an accomplished pianist.
