Description:

A lyrical, chant-like style shapes this choral arrangement. The flute, oboe and cello parts provide polyphonic embellishment in conversation with the text. After the final verse, the text “evermore and evermore” leads to an extension of the arrangement, stressing the importance of living the Incarnation daily.
