Jesus, to Your Table Led

Jesus, to your table led adapts a text from R. H. Baynes and is a simple and attractive communion motet. It features simple four-part writing, sections for SA and TB for textural contrast, and an extended ‘Amen’ with some chromatic colour. Voices are comfortably supported by the organ accompaniment throughout.
Dr Martin Clarke (Organists’ Review)

Christopher Maxim’s anthem is an excellent demonstration of simple writing for maximum effect. Over half the anthem is unison or in two parts (including two-part mixed voices), well supported by the organ. The original hymn text (found today in very few hymn books) has seven 3-line stanzas, and Christopher Maxim sets four of them, ending with a reference to the Agnus Dei, ‘Lamb of God, grant us your peace’. It is recommended for small choirs wanting a new easy communion anthem.
