Ed has written a cantor, choir, and assembly-friendly setting of the Sequence for Pentecost using the approved text from The Roman Missal. The stepwise motion of the lyrical melody facilitates a quick learn. The piece begins in D major for the first four verses, modulates to E for the next three verses, moves to F for verses 8 and 9, and concludes with the final verse in G. The interval relationships are the same with each modulation, highlighti ng the words and adding a sense of urgency. The octavo includes a keyboard part, but you will note that this can be performed with just a simple guitar accompaniment. And, guitar pages are included in the octavo.

Composed by Glenn Wonacott. Lent 1 C. Choral. Sacred. Octavo. 4 pages. GIA Publications #7392. Published by GIA Publications (GI.G-7392).

UPC: 785147739203. English. Text Source: Psalm 91:1-2, NIV Scripture: Psalm 91:1–2.

The chant-like treatment of the Psalm verses, in addition to creating a simply lovely setting, can also be a great exercise in sensitively conveying the meaning of the words through proper textual stress—a skill that can be applied to less lyrical pieces in the choral repertoire. The voice parts are minimal in scope (each roughly an octave), but the fluctuating accidentals will require some attention for tuning.
