Anthem on ABERYSTWYTH

Haunting and lovely, the arrangement of this Welsh tune will challenge the musicality of your ensemble. A delicate, exposed opening statement of the theme gives way to a flowing variation set over an ostinato harmonic pattern. A final, more turbulent verse follows before the piece fades away to an unresolved conclusion. Familiar texts for this tune are Watchman, Tell Us of the Night and Jesus, Lover of My Soul. This piece is effective for Advent or any service of reflection.
