This George Herbert text is set for SSA voices and piano. The text is a veiled description of Herbert’s relationship to God as paramount and beyond price. The pearl is a symbol for something sought but not easily found. The poet describes key pursuits in life (learning, honor, pleasure) and concludes “Yet I love thee.” Again and again the comparison is made between earthly and heavenly things, and the author concludes that the ultimate goal is “to climbe to thee.” There are various solo and small group opportunities marked in the music as well as “tutti choirs” and “massed voices.” Yet the music is not complex and is suitable for a variety of situations and ensembles.
