"I cannot dance, O Lord, for treble chorus and organ, was commissioned for the Berks Classical Children's Choir and later arranged for soprano solo and organ (Catalog No. 6683). The lively rhythmic interplay in both versions highlights the joyful text of 13th-century mystic and nun, Mechthild of Magdeburg. The English translation is by Jane Hirshfield." - Steven Sametz.
