Appropriate for Ash Wednesday and the season of Lent, this easily learned and beautiful choral anthem provides simple variation in both the upper and lower voices. The imagery and depth of the poetry adds strength to the themes of impermanence and the need for repentance. Subtle melodic quotes of Victimae paschali laudes brings this new SATB arrangement familiarity and comfort to both singer and listener as well as allowing for congregational participation on the final verse.
