“Deat
h, thou art welcome to my
arms attended by a
thousand charms...â€
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.

by Gerd-Peter Munden.
