Arrangement of Mendelssohn's "O for the Wings of a Dove" (the last section of his anthem "Hear my prayer")
Except in the first few bars, I have used mainly the lower strings to represent the organ part, the upper strings to represent the choir and the piccolo to represent the

treble (or soprano) soloist.

The pdf file contains score and parts
The sound sample is an electronic preview

The words of the original choral piece are:

O for the wings, for the wings of a dove,
Far away, far away I would rove.
O for the wings, for the wings of a dove,
Far away, far away,
Far away, far away I would rove.

In the wilderness build me a nest,
And remain there for ever at rest.
In the wilderness build me, build me a nest,
And remain there forever at rest.
