MTC Publishing #861295. Published by MTC Publishing (A0.1268765). Agnus Dei - Choral Arrangement for SSA and Piano arranged by Michael Thomas CoullAgnus Dei is the Latin name under which the 'Lamb of God' is honoured within the Roman Catholic church, descending from the Latin tradition.  It is the name given to a specific prayer that occurs in the church liturgy, and the music that accompanies the text of this prayer.  The use of the title 'Lamb of God' is based on John 1:29, in which St John the Baptist, upon seeing the Saviour proclaims 'Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!' This arrangement of Michael W Smith’s Agnus Dei is based on the version that popular American singer/songwriter Amy Grant released on her third seasonal holiday album in 1999. This inspirational arrangement for SSA choir and piano accompaniment can be performed at any time of the year. The use of open fifths and fourths give the harmonies a sacred 'medieval' feeling, that will impress and fill any audience with awe.Also available for SATB.
