SATB choir and organ

SKU: ST.W187

Composed by Anthony Caesar. SATB and organ. Choral. Octavo. Stainer & Bell Ltd. #W187. Published by Stainer & Bell Ltd. (ST.W187).

ISBN 9790220203305.

Anthony Caesar finds a moving text by the teenage Etonian, Oxford Movement influenced, Digby Mackworth Dolben (1848-1867), who died tragically young while swimming. Canon Caesar's anthem is a classic example of the Franciscan principle (observed by lamentably few composers) of true beauty springing from simplicity.

The text inspires a sort of post-Howells harmonic idiom, though with the choir's part kept remarkably simple. The most inspired moment comes when the opening progression, which sets the poignant tension of the first three verses, is subtly transformed into radiant certainty in the last verse: I asked for Thee- / And Thou didst come / To take me home / Within Thy Heart to be. Although the parts divide at times, this miniature classic is not too difficult for any well rehearsed four-part choir.

A warm and tender piece that will quickly become a favorite of congregations and music programs of almost any size and makeup—this gentle, restful musical setting combines a paraphrase of the Nunc dimittis with verses from the Book of Psalms. It is easily accessible to choirs and worshiping assemblies and would be a beautiful sung prayer for any occasion from Evening or Night Prayer to moments of lament and grieving. The C instrument part is optional. For cantor or soloist.

One song can spark a moment, one breath can wake the dream. This introspective original is based on an unattributed poem that illustrates the impact a small moment can have in our lives. Traditional homophonic writing soon expands to a bevy of swirling choral textures and a dreamy chorus that floats the central motive over a wave of vocal layers. It's a remarkable contemporary a cappella effect and a fitting treatment for these words of worth.
