In this treatment of the graceful French melody Lourdes Hymn, brass quartet and organ interact with choir and congregation with more lyricism than fanfare. A choir-only stanza distributes the melody among the flowing SATB lines. A more dramatic interlude with key change sets up a celebratory final stanza with soprano/tenor descant. Some adaptation would allow for a performance without brass.
