Ed has written a cantor, choir, and assembly-friendly setting of the Sequence for Pentecost using the approved text from The Roman Missal. The stepwise motion of the lyrical melody facilitates a quick learn. The piece begins in D major for the first four verses, modulates to E for the next three verses, moves to F for verses 8 and 9, and concludes with the final verse in G. The interval relationships are the same with each modulation, highlighting the words and adding a sense of urgency. The octavo includes a keyboard part, but you will note that this can be performed with just a simple guitar accompaniment. And, guitar pages are included in the octavo.

Few pieces are as simple and straightforward as this, while still providing an array of choices for how it can be performed. Written with 3 sung lines (mixed or equal voices) that are repeated, the effect can be quiet and intimate or strong and determined—or a combination! Performance suggestions are in the printed music, but listening to the recording (Walk in Peace, CD-908) will spark your imagination with even more possibilities. C Instrument part is only for Upon This Path Guitar chords only appear for Upon This Path.
