For the Beauty of the Earth (HL 211151)

This beloved hymn text is tastefully presented with a beautiful new melody. The composer's nuanced approach brings out the many layers of loveliness found in the words, and the thoughtful conductor will find lots of expressive moments to exploit in the musical treatment. A sensitive piano part enhances without distracting, and the optional chamber orchestration will add to the depth of the work. Available for SATB and 2-Part choirs, this anthem will work for groups of any size and is appropriate any time of year. Artful! Score and Parts (fl 1-2, ob, cl 1-2, bn, perc 1-2, hp, vn 1-2, va, vc, db) available as a digital download.
