SATB chorus, Organ Organ (SATB) - early intermediate SKU: CR.984285 Composed by Benjamin Culli. Choral. With music. Concordia Publishing House #984285. Published by Concordia Publishing House (CR.984285). ISBN 9780758661647. 7 x 10.25 inches.This English cathedral-style anthem features a memorable tune accompanied by dramatic and thrilling organ writing. The full dynamic ranges of both the choir and the organ are used, yet careful use of unison, two-part, and four-part writing makes this majestic piece accessible to even modest-sized choirs. The lovely ancient text is most often associated with the Epiphany season but is useful year round. The only Son, of Virgin born,Came down to save a world forlorn;His cross procured the life of heav'nBy water, Word, and Spirit giv'n. From God on high He came to earth;He took the form of man at birth,Redeemed by death the world He madeAnd gives us joy that cannot fade. Glide on, O glorious Sun, and bringThe gift of healing on Your wing.On ev'ry sense Your light bestow;Bless ev'ry creature here below. Abide with us, O Lord, we pray;The gloom of darkness chase away;Your work of healing, Lord, begin,And take away the stain of sin. Lord, once You came to earth's domainAnd, we believe, shall come again;Your people shield from sin and pain;Extend Your great and glorious reign. To You, O Lord, all glory be,The source of all doxology; *For this Your blest nativity; *For this Your blest epiphany;To God, whom all the hosts adore,And Holy Spirit evermore. Amen. * Optional texts may be used during the Christmas or Epiphany seasons.
