Description:
A setting of John 12:24. The music is in a slow 4 with a syncopated sixteenth-note melodic and accompaniment pattern. The accompaniment is á la guitar picking, and the anticipated beats and half-beats of the melody seem highly natural. Unison verses with 3-part refrain until the coda, which incorporates three voices in canon-like imitation under a trio asks, “Would I lay my life down for you?” This final section can be repeated indefinitely. Nice!
