John Rutter's engaging melody over a flowing accompaniment is equally beautiful in either the SATB or SA treatment. If you haven't already, consider the instrumental accompaniment for a fresh perspective on this sacred gem. Scored for strings, winds, harp (playable on keyboard), and drums, it includes instrumental lines that are as lovely as the vocal lines. A perennial favorite, this is a tasteful blend of text and musical expression.
