A rare anthem for the first Sunday of the year! This joyful setting of text by Alfred Tennyson is particularly appropriate at the beginning of a new calendar year, or during other times of renewal or new beginnings. To minimize rehearsal time during the holidays, voices often sing in unison or two parts, brief sections of SATB part-writing are repeated without change, and rhythmic and metric treatment remains consistent throughout all stanzas. The articulate, supportive organ part (or optional piano part) ensures the anthem's buoyancy and overall effect.
