Leo Sowerby has been referred to as the “Dean of American Church Music.” The Pulitzer winning composer (1946) certainly left a footprint that still seems ahead of its time. This anthem was composed as an a cappella motet, and organist/arranger, Lyndell Leatherman has added an organ part in true Sowerby style. The ancient Alcuin text (8th century) is a beautiful prayer appropriate in any service of worship. Medium in difficulty.
