Opis

for SATB and piano or organ This expressive anthem brings together excerpts from the gospels that express God's commandment to mankind to love one another. Underpinned by a flowing piano or organ accompaniment, Love one another explores this profound topic with sensitive harmonies and effective modulations. Although suitable for performance throughout the church year, this anthem would be particularly affecting in a Wedding or Maundy Thursday service.

Recenzje

Alan Bullard has a great gift for writing accessible, effective and melodious music for choirs; if you are not aware of his compositions, these three would be a good place to start . . . Love one another sets selected verses from the Gospels of Mark and John. It would be particularly fitting to use on Maundy Thursday, but these words of Jesus to love one another are so central to the Christian faith, we should sing them often. This setting blends words and music sensitively and interestingly, yet avoids sentimentality.
