Voicing: SAB with piano
Composer: R. Douglas Helvering
Based on the well-known blessing found in Numbers 6:24-26, this stirring anthem provides a lovely and memorable choral benediction for any choir of mixed voices. Choirs with changing male-voice singers will especially enjoy this anthem with its ideal part writing for tenors and baritones. Interesting harmonic color and a gently rolling piano accompaniment create a unique and thoughtful setting to the anthem's prayerful, sensitive text.
