Let Us Be People of Hope

Anthemic and topically rich, this piece is a stirring call to action, asking for our deeds to be anchored in love and rooted in faith. It can be used as a gathering hymn but would be effective also as a sending-forth song. Speech-like syncopations inform the solid, foursquare refrain and the five verses. Scored for two-part chorus with keyboard and guitar accompaniment, parts for flute and trumpet are also included when you wish to enhance the instrumental timbre.
