Allen Pote sets to music the biblical account of the first day of Pentecost in this anthem for SATB choir and piano, with optional, reproducible flute and oboe parts which are included in the anthem. Through the creative use of text painting Allen brings to life the "mighty rushing wind" and "tongues of flames." The concluding section features a Timothy Dudley-Smith text bringing the anthem full circle to Christians of today with the prayer: "Spirit of faith, by faith be mine; Spirit of truth in wisdom shine. Spirit of holiness divine, Spirit of Jesus, come!" The flute and oboe parts are included. |
