Uses: General, Wedding Scripture: Luke 6:31; Romans 12:9; I Corinthians 13:4-8 The Word becomes song in this scripture-based anthem for choirs seeking an expressive vehicle for worship. A melodically pleasing gesture with wide intervals opens simply before taking on a rich and effective harmonization. A significant developmental B section explores the color of the choir and builds to a passionate restatement of the main theme. The lush orchestration adds greatly to the overall sonic ambience, making this a stellar choice for concert presentations.
