O Lord, How Shall We Meet You?

"O love beyond all telling, that led you to embrace in love, all loves excelling, our lost and fallen race."  This poignant 17th century hymn text is presented with an introspective and hauntingly beautiful melody as voices, piano and lyric trumpet obbligato weave a rich musical tapestry.  A brief a cappella passage adds depth to the musical expression and the work comes to a thoughtful and earnest conclusion.
