Written for the Enchanted Voices CD, this is one of many settings of texts either from the Beatitudes (or springing from them) available from this composer. For two-part treble chorus, cello, organ, and handbells, the music has a light, ethereal feeling. The piece begins in unison on a lyrical theme, which the cello echoes next in a 30-measure solo. The voices enter again with the theme, expanded to two parts. After brief restatement in the cello, the piece returns to a quiet, unison ending. Duration 5:02
