Voicing: SATB
Words from Isaiah 12: 1, 4-5
Incorporating tune: STUTTGART by Christian F. Witt (1660-1716)
Music by David Schwoebel
Arranged by David Schwoebel
The sturdy tune STUTTGART provides the framework for this strong anthem of praise scored for optional handbells, organ and congregational participation in addition to SATB voices and piano. Beginning with a quietly confident melody, both melody and accompaniment continue to grow and build into a grand hymn tune and text, which includes a soaring soprano descant.
