Choral Choir,Choral (SATB Chorus) - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1516690 By Mark R Lewis. By Mark R Lewis. Arranged by Mark R Lewis. Contemporary,Praise & Worship,Religious,Sacred. 11 pages. Mark R Lewis #1090863. Published by Mark R Lewis (A0.1516690). The text for “Where Is Hope?” is adapted from the Lamentations Chapter 3 and is an expression of hopelessness, almost depression. The text starts out with the singer feeling lost, alone, and in pain. As the song progresses, the singer remembers God’s promises to always help and be with us. By the end of the song, the singer has regained hope and is triumphant and comforted. First and foremost, the music is very much intended to support the lyrical content of this song.Throughout the song, the key switches from major to minor (both parallel and relative) quite frequently. The piece starts with a very free section with almost no tempo alternating between just voices and simple piano accompaniment. The middle sections have stricter tempo and more active piano accompaniment and the final section increases in speed and excitement with piano truly accompanying the voices instead of just mostly mirroring them. Throughout the piece, meter always follows word stress so there are a surprising number of time signature changes with lyrical clarity always being more important than strict meter. All that said, the rhythms are not too difficult throughout the song and while there are some dissonant harmonies, the musical lines themselves should be singable by most intermediate choirs.

Published by Leatherman Music Services (A0.829483). In 1983 John Ness Beck (co-founder of Beckenhorst Press) published my choral piece, Gracious Spirit, Dwell with Me.

And so it's my joy to introduce it to another generation of church musicians, with a companion orchestration now available (sold separately at https://www.sheetmusicplus.com/title/22237960  In addition, because of the many church choirs with fewer men than women, I have created an SAB edition, available separately at https://www.sheetmusicplus.com/title/22256390
