Description:

The joy of the opening and closing sections of this setting can be communicated with precise diction and rhythm, creating a contrast with the expressive central section. The 7/8 measures of the melody are always grouped 2+2+3, with an accent on the beginning of the 3. Once that rhythm is firm, the soprano descant in the last verse can soar triumphantly over all.
