Augsburg Fortress

A cello obligato adds warmth and depth to a new setting by Benjamin Culli of this familiar text using the John Ireland tune, LOVE UNKOWN. The choir sings in unison with optional assembly for much of the anthem, breaking into SATB on stanza five. The setting ends with a descant that beautifully floats above the melody. Perfect for Sunday of the Passion/Palm Sunday or Good Friday.
