Composer Commentary

This piece was written some years ago when I was directing the choir at St. Wilfrid of York Church in Huntington Beach, California. The accompaniment is really written for piano but can easily be adapted for organ. The piece requires a smooth legato from the singers. Also, attention needs to be given to stressed and unstressed syllables.
