Hymn for Night Prayer

by Paschal Jordan / John Bell
Text Author : Paschal Jordan
Arranger : John Bell

1994, Diocese of Guyana (South America); alternate verse: 2000, Wild Goose Resource Group, Iona Community, GIA Publications, Inc. agent; Paschal Jordan, OSB; choral arrangement: 2000, Wild Goose Resource Group, Iona Community, GIA Publications, Inc. agent

There are several unique aspects to this piece. First, it is in a gently rhythmic 5/4, creating a captivating lilt. Second, the unison melody of this hymn is followed by a vocalized 8-measure choral “verse” without words, beautifully and expressively scored. Finally, the coda is an SATB setting of the hymn with an optional second text, the Nunc dimittis.
