SATB choir, Organ - Medium/Difficult
SKU: PL.0918
Composed by Gerre Hancock. Cathedral. Choral, General. Octavo. Paraclete Press #0918. Published by Paraclete Press (PL.0918).* bold opening depicting mans' view of "greatness" in sharp contrast to the second half illuminating scripture's explanation of "greatness" * organ part has unique character which often works in contrast to the choir
This text is from Mark's Gospel, "Whoever would be great among you," and is treated with a broad sweep. Initial slow-moving voices are punctuated by big organ chords and, later, with unison and contrary-motion duplets that underpin but don't interfere with the voices. A grand setting with a surprising pianissimo ending. - "The American Organist" September 2009.
