Henry H. Tweedy: Holy Spirit, Come: Gemischter Chor mit Begleitung

From the very first measure, this tender anthem for the season of Pentecost offers a text of substance clothed with beautiful music. Sopranos and Altos in a rich opening theme lift a prayer for the divine presence of the Holy Spirit to descend. The refrain showcases all four parts in expressive stacks of worshipful harmonies, all arranged with careful attention to voice leading and range, and pianists will enjoy the artistry of the accompaniment as it paints the words it supports.
