Description

• prayerful choral setting, using lush harmonies, suspensions, and
descending lines with lifted endings to depict the traditional 19th
century text
• duetting and trios, as well as contrapuntal entrances add clarity
and transparency to this elegant setting
• cadences overlapping with new entrances give a timeless,
suspended affect
• closing section, a sort of coda reflects and repeats the text, Spirit of God, first contrapuntally, and finally, with a four-part final cadence
• the climactic phrase, my heart an altar, and your love the flame reflects the essence of this anthem by prize-winning composer Aaron David Miller

Using warm harmonies, some with dissonances, this sensitive anthem is primarily syllabic with mostly connected vocal lines that move diatonically having limited skips. The gentle character remains relatively soft throughout.
