Anthony Giamanco sets this well-loved Liberian communion hymn in an accessible arrangement for SAB choir and piano. The writing flows from the text and highlights the character of the hymn with call-and-response and canonic stanzas. A slower final stanza features beautiful SAB part-writing that highlights the meaning of the text. The gently jazz-inflected piano accompaniment adds interest throughout while supporting the singing. A perfect communion anthem for any-sized choir and useful throughout the year.
