Written for the wedding of a friend of the composer, this atmospheric work breathes new life into the text from 1 Corinthians 13, often read at weddings and civic ceremonies, describing the many facets of love and its importance. The rich vocal harmonies develop from gradually building tonal clusters which accompany the soprano soloist, who later provides a decorated descant to the choruses climax. Written with voice-leading which assists the more challenging harmonies, this would be a rewarding sing for choirs and a special addition to wedding or civil ceremony or reception. / Soprano Et Choeur Mixte
