It Is Good for Us to Be Here

Scored for SATB choir, descant, keyboard, and guitar, this fresh new resource for the Transfiguration of the Lord features Bryant's compelling four-verse text set to Crandal's original hymn tune, MOUNTAIN. The accessible melody is bolstered by engaging harmony, while its layout (optional interlude and/or optional key change for Verse 4) provides several options to add variety and interest. The general topical content revolves around the dual themes of faith and God's love for us, which means that it may be effectively used beyond the feast for which it was written.
