Speak, Lord, for Thy Servant Heareth

This eminently approachable anthem sets text by Christina Rossetti asking for God to "give us ears to hear, eyes to see, wills to obey, and hearts to love." This a cappella motet features layered voices, mixed meters, and a touch of dissonance. The dynamic contrasts contribute to the expressive vocal lines before the piece concludes with a quiet "amen."
