for SATB with divisions and organThis canticle sets a text by the distinguished American hymn-writer Thomas Troeger. It includes an a cappella verse for textural contrast; a soprano descant brings the work to a powerful finish.
This work investigates the musical interpretation of Thomas Troeger’s hymn text through a structured choral arrangement for SATB and organ. The composition, created by Eleanor Daley, utilizes specific vocal textures and instrumental accompaniment to emphasize the thematic content of the hymn. By integrating a cappella sections and a soprano descant, the piece provides a formal framework for liturgical or concert performance.
