Beginning
with a single bass line
in the keyboard,
expanding to 2 parts,
then adding in the
men’s voices and
eventually the women, it
is as if everyone in the
room is waiting on the
brink, expecting
something. The mixed
two-part voicing is used
for the first 3 verses,
finally expanding to SATB
on the final verse,
providing a comforting
expansiveness.
