Opis

for SATB and organ This choral hymn features a tune and text both newly written by the composer. With a verse for each member of the Trinity, it addresses God, the risen Christ, and the Holy Spirit in turn, all with a strong sense of worship and adoration. The piece starts in unison, with men followed by women, then the second verse is set to unaccompanied four-part harmony, while the third verse follows the traditional practice of unison tune with soprano descant above. The organ part provides both melodic and harmonic underpinning.
