Lloyd Larson takes us to the heart of Pentecost in this new gospel song written for SATB choirs. Its original lyric, a prayer to be filled and guided by the Holy Spirit, is set to an uplifting tune in 9/8. The idiomatic piano accompaniment is a joy to play and the choral parts showcase Larsonâ??s gift for four-part writing, with gently contrapuntal moments as the music heads toward a beautiful fortissimo section in its final measures.
