God Who at the Font Once Named Us

We welcome Anthony Gallina to the WLP choral catalog and family. He set Herman Steumpfle's text for choir, organ, and two trumpets. Perfect for festive occasions such as church dedications, the piece begins with the standard harmonization of the well-known hymn tune. In the a cappella verse 3, the harmonization develops and becomes richer and more chromatic. The subsequent verses add the two trumpets and conclude with a vocal descant and choral coda.
