Comments for this piece:
From Melody Baker: Simply amazing! Simple enough for a small choir, yet majestic enough for a large choir as well. I really appreciate arrangements that enhance the feeling and meaning of each verse. I also look for arrangements where the ending pulls the entire message together so that the listener is touched – one last time – to internalize the inspirational feelings which the words and music created throughout the entire hymn. Thank you for sharing your talents so freely!
5.0 stars.
