• This lesser-known choral piece is my favorite • Be careful not to rush…it will take the beauty right

and chord progressions Alfred Burt originally used are
too brilliant to change. Thus, the first and third
verse remain true to Burt’s original score. Only the
second verse and the ending have been altered.
• Performance options:
1: Have a solo instrument double the melody on the first
verse, let the piano take a solo on the second verse,
then let the solo instrument join back in playing the
descant on the last verse.
2: If you have a low enough alto voice, you could play
the first 2 verses solo piano. Then, on the last verse,
let your voice join in with a soft "ahh" or "ooo" on the
descant part.
3: If you can sing high and soft you could do the 2nd
option singing the descant up an octave. (This is how
it is on the album.)
