* This part needs to provide a strong foundation while also allowing the upper parts to be in the forefront. Depending on the size and
distribution of the choir, having around a third of singers, with a mixture of sopranos and altos, on this lower part would be
appropriate.
First performed by Ensemble Laude, directed by Elizabeth MacIsaac, at First Church of Christ, Scientist, Victoria, British Columbia, on
27 April 2014.
