Description

SATB Choir. Wonderful motet originally for TTBB choir, now arranged for SATB. Beautiful imitative style typical of Handl's mastery of polyphony. This is the traditional text (collect) for Pentecost, but will work for services all through the year. (Not Lent - too many Alleluias.)

Lyrics

Confirm in us, O Lord,
the blessing thou hast given thy people,
thy most Holy Spirit,
the gift of truth and grace. Alleluia.
