“Death, thou art welcome to my arms attended by a thousand charms...†a text that dates back as far as 1818 speaks to the human desire for a peaceful end to life. This new setting by Richard Burchard provides your tenor-bass choir with an exciting and contemporary approach to this rich traditional hymn melody. In typical Burchard fashion, he has beautifully crafted phrases that combine the hymn text, touches of Latin, and a folk-style solo designed to draw attention to the rhythm, melody, and message of the hymn. Looking for that perfect piece with a special soulful appeal? Look no further; accompanied by cello and percussion, here's the ideal candidate, sure to become a choir and audience favorite.
