Description
SATB choir, with optional handbells or keyboard - Intermediate
SKU: EC.8862
Composed by Fred Gramann. All Saints/All Souls. Octavo. E.C. Schirmer Publishing #8862. Published by E.C. Schirmer Publishing (EC.8862).UPC: 600313488627. English, Latin. Revelation 7:9-10.
Intoned by a chord cluster on bells (only four bells are required) or keyboard, a soloist or several voices chant the first phrase (the piece can be sing in either English or Latin). The intensity grows each time the text reappears. The 4-part sections convey a sense of earthly longing for a time when true unity will be realized. The anthem concludes with a quiet statement of the opening text.
