Difficulty Level: M

Description:

The first portion of this setting offers a gentle, flowing accompaniment to cradle the original melody and the sweetness of the traditional text. The choral sound gradually expands until the maestoso section appears with all the utter power one could imagine! Repose returns at the conclusion of the doxology.
