Summary

for SATB (with some divisions) unaccompaniedMark's Sirett's setting of these anonymous words has a magical quality that is most attractive to singers and listeners alike. The soprano(s) announce the main tune before it is taken up by the full choir. It will provide a useful 'sorbet' in a rich Advent Carol Service.
