The first is miraculously piano and the hushed awe engendered is extraordinary. How did he come up with something so simple and so original? This verse is in E-flat major. Four bars later and a molto crescendo past we are in a flag waving B-flat major and singing for all we are worth. The final phrase is repeated twice to round the whole thing off. It is a prime example of the simplest things so often being the most effective, as heard when this version has been programmed at The Last Night of the Proms.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDuration: 3 minutes\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePaul Spicer, Lichfield, 2011\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVoicing:\u003c\/strong\u003e SATB divisi\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e SATB divisi, Vocal Score\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries:\u003c\/strong\u003e Boosey \u0026amp; Hawkes Sacred Choral\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10.5 × 7.0 × 0.0 in\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0 oz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eBoosey \u0026amp; Hawkes — historic British publisher of Stravinsky, Britten, Copland, Bernstein.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eAuthorized dealer.
