What an impact this august anthem will
have on both choir and listeners! Its rhythmic
structure develops from the superb interplay
between the voices, and the layering of sound
upon sound creates a musical tapestry. Written
in an almost spiritual style, but definitely not a
spiritual, this will make a stunning choice for
larger church choirs!

and the University Park United Methodist
Church, Dallas, Texas.

preamble, the soaring, original melody is
sung antiphonally by the women's and men's
voices. The contrasting middle section features
homophonic voices, followed by a reprise of

dynamic contrasts. The SAB offers cued note
options to make the range more conservative
for younger voices.
