Description:
Written in a Folk Revival style reminiscent of Woody Guthrie, Bob Dylan, and Willie Nelson, Adam Tice’s text is inspired by Jesus’ admonishments to the wealthy. Kate Williams’ tune captures the text beautifully. The song can be sung by a soloist or unison voices, with the assembly joining on the “Lay it down” phrases and the coda. “Lay It Down” is taken from the composer’s debut collection Bless What Is Breaking, G-11385.
