This composition by the late William Ferris clearly demonstrates his unmatched mastery of sacred choral music. The artistic treatment of voice and text was always foremost in his compositional approach. Graceful vocal embellishments adorn the medieval-like melody lines. Sublime organ writing supports the chorus as the piece builds to a dramatic close on the canonic final verse.
