Wake Up, My Spirit - SATB divisi Anthem

Redford, JAC

Item #: 10/4073R     Status: Out of print

Vocal Forces: SATB divisi

Instrumental parts included: Oboe, Harp

Series: Te Deum Choral Series, Te Deum Choral Series

Description:

The modal lyricism of "Wake Up, My Spirit" combines elements of Renaissance counterpoint with a free chromaticism that is characteristic of contemporary harmony. In hushed and vibrant anticipation, the choir and instrumentalists become a piper coaxing the sun out of hiding. Their song comes from Psalm 57, in which David looks with hope to the morning after a night of anxiety for his life. "My heart is ready, O God; I will sing and make music for you."
