Opening and closing with a brilliant divisi fanfare, this inspired setting of TO GOD BE THE GLORY is perfectly paced, with dazzling color and expert choral texturing. Verses one and two are unison and SATB textures, respectively. A slower, mostly a cappella section follows, colored with beautiful harmonies. The tempo and dynamics increase, signaling the final verse which adds descant and optional congregation. Great for Thanksgiving and for worship throughout the year. Optional orchestration is available.
