SATB choir, SB soli, organ - Late Intermediate
SKU: MN.CH-1151
Composed by Amy Marcy Beach and Nick Strimple. 20th Century. Octavo. Duration 7 minutes. Laurendale Associates #CH-1151. Published by Laurendale Associates (MN.CH-1151).From the Service in A Major, Opus 63, the Benedictus is a beautiful slow movement that ends with an Allegro vivace in the primary version; however, an alternate ending in the slow tempo is provided which omits the Gloria Patri. The entire Service in A Major forms a very effective 37 minute concert piece. In keeping with its primary function as a work for the Episcopal liturgy, each movement stands alone quite well as an attractive, independent composition in the late Romantic style. English text. Duration 7:00.
