When hymnody
is made into an anthem,
it connects with the
congregation in a
profound way. The
early-American hymn tune
NETTLETON appears in
nearly every
denominational hymnal and
this incarnation speaks
with inspiring grace. The
part-writing is solid and
approachable with
glistening innovations in
the upper voices and
variety which moves the
parts from unison to
two-part and then to full
four-part textures. A
refreshing quieter ending
with the use of a
lesser-known verse puts a
devotional spin on this
classic and opens it up
to a variety of usages.
