Mary, the Daystar

Harmonically straightforward and melodically approachable, this new Marian piece for choir and assembly will be a valuable addition to your choir's repertoire. The text of the verses masterfully uses linked couplets to highlight paired qualities representing Mary's humanity and Christ's divinity over its four verses. A memorable refrain reinforces their connection both in heaven and on earth. It is scored for SAB choir with keyboard and guitar accompaniment and includes instrument parts for two flutes and bassoon.
