Let us build a house is the closing hymn of Kim André Arnesens large-scale work, The Stranger. Instead of a typical majestic endingto a large work, Arnesen went for a quiet one with only an unaccompanied choir. As the composer comments, 'sometimes a message feelsstronger like that and makes us listen more carefully'. The text is from the hymn by Marty Haugen, which concludes 'Let us bring an end to fear and danger: All are welcome in this place.' A stillness and serenity pervades this short piece, suitable for intermediate choirs.
