God So Loved the World _SATB

The famous text from the gospel of John has been set to music so many times, here is another rendition to add to your library. This piece has a “Da Capo” form, with a powerful middle section. The piece begins with a very calm, legato section which sets up the intensity of the middle section. The soprano’s climactic high A is the pinnacle of the segment, which then returns to the more tranquil reappearance of the opening. This piece can be used as a general anthem at specific times throughout the year according to the lectionary calendar.
