For Mixed Choir (SATB with divisi) and Organ
By Franklin D. Ashdown
The sheer power of Samuel Longfellow's poem, "Holy Spirit, Truth Divine," provides the body of this choral setting from Franklin Ashdown. The text and music begin wistfully and tentatively, proceeding to stronger petitions of increasing intensity. The finely-crafted organ accompaniment adds further to the spirit and drama of the piece, which ends in an acclamation of triumph and joy.
