This
well-known Ken Medema
song from the 1970's is
given a tour-de-force a
cappella treatment by
Kenneth Dake. Requiring
divisi into eight parts,
gospel harmonies abound.
The choir sings doo-wop
syllables under a soloist
(high voice) for twelve
measures in the middle of
the piece. To our way of
thinking, this does not
rule it out for worship
because of the careful
writing and wonderful
effect it achieves. For a
choir that can handle the
divisi and lack of
accompaniment, this is
absolutely not to be
missed!
