Text from an excerpt from poem, letter by Norbert Capek, March 31, 1942.

A canonic setting of minister Norbert A!apek's final letter from prison before his execution by the Gestapo, "Be Grateful My Soul" is a sweeping and lyrical testament to life's worth and beauty, even when shrouded in darkness. The five voice parts in this prayerful song have identical ranges, with a lower tessitura in the alto parts.

The five voice parts in this prayerful song have identical ranges, with a lower tessitura in the alto parts.

Text: Even though a thousand times disappointed and fallen in the fight, even thought faced with a world which now seems worthless, I have lived amidst eternity. Be grateful, my soul, Be grateful, my soul, I have lived amidst eternity. Reprinted by permission of Ron Frederick. All rights reserved.
