Voicing: SATB Choir and Piano 4 Hands
Composer/Arranger: Craig Courtney
Beginning with a bass ostinato and staccato eighth notes, this four-hand accompaniment has a growing tension that never lets up until the final note. It is, however, J. M. C. Crum's use of wheat as a metaphor for Christ's death and resurrection that sets this apart as a truly unique anthem for the Easter Season. An accompaniment CD designed for practice and performance is also available for purchase.
