OUR MUSIC PLUMBS, THEN LIFTS AND BEARS [Anthem]
Anthem for SATB Choir and Organ

LEVEL: MEDIUM EASY
Music by Christopher M. Lee
Text by Thomas H. Troeger
Themes/imagery in text: music, art, baptism, social concerns
Scriptural References: John 4:14, Romans 8:26

Description:
Thomas Troeger's beautiful text is paired with an expressive tune that feels at once fresh and nostalgic. The work explores a variety of choral textures before introducing the exuberant closing stanza, led by stirring modulation and blazoned with fortissimo organ and a soaring descant.

Also available as a hymn (arranged with modulation and descant).

Notes:
Text and music were jointly commissioned for the 125th anniversary of Bethesda Lutheran Church, New Haven, CT.
