Description:
Charles Thatcher has arranged this beloved text and tune into a moving piece for SATB voice and organ with optional flute. The voicing and accompaniment of each verse beautifully reflects the text, from the simplicity of verse one to the rich a cappella harmonies of verse four, to the dance-like energy of the final verse. Originally composed for a 50th anniversary of ordination in Ireland, this piece would make a grand and moving addition to similar celebrations.
