This setting reflects Matthew Culloton’s gift for hearing something traditional in a brand new way that still feels comforting and familiar. The first verse is set entirely in unison, but is ethereal and lovely. The basses are assigned the melody in the second verse, and the third verse is full SATB. The flute/violin floats high above, reinforcing the melody in places. Reproducible part for Flute or Violin included.
