Description:

Written for organ, choir and assembly, this setting of ROCKINGHAM begins at a moderate pace in four parts. The a cappella writing for the third stanza slows down and moves to the relative minor, effectively portraying the gravity of the text. The piece returns to the original key and tempo for the final stanza by unison voices with descant.
