Definitely theatrical, almost Broadway in feel, requiring the vocalist to change character at a moment’s notice. An unusual approach, but offers high impact if the occasion warrants.
An effective setting which never oversteps its role in bringing simple truths alive. Lots of unison and straight forward part writing for an easy teach with effective results.
A slightly beefed up final cadence makes this perfect for open-air venues or sports events where the last moments of ‘the anthem’ are often lost or drowned by an exuberant crowd of spectators.
Strong melodic shapes and bold piano writing give this text a rock solid foundation. The music features unison and two-part lines in the verses where the Scripture context is outlined.
A classic favourite set in gospel style for piano and two-part women’s choir. The arrangement takes advantage of the rich mid-range unisons of the SA choir.
