In God Alone

Based on Psalm 62, this upbeat assembly song touches on topics of faith, joy, salvation, love of God for us, and trust; this broad thematic scope makes it useful at many liturgical moments. Scored for SATB choir with descant, keyboard, guitar, flute, and cello, the piece is reminiscent of early American folksong with its mostly pentatonic melody, judicious use of melodic leaps, and a sturdy, foursquare rhythmic profile.
