Set for two-part choir or duet with keyboard accompaniment, this is a lovely setting of a text from the Song of Songs. Its thematic focus on the strength of love, and its stately pace coupled with a flowing, beautiful melody give it a wonderful solemnity (without being somber). Thus, it will be suitable for quite a few liturgical circumstances: weddings, during the season of Lent, and for funerals and Masses of dedication.
