General Anthem for SSATB voices, High Voice Solo, a cappella; words and music by Ben Reynolds; arranged by Ken Dosso - an anthem from Abingdon Press Choral Club volume 17.1 (Winter - Spring 2007) What will your heart yearn for upon your last breath? This text sings praise and worship before God, kneeling with a humble heart, seeking grace. Voices enter on a unison D and gently move in contrary motion to open into a rich six-voice A-flat 7 chord on "breath." The melody sits in the soprano voice with frequent homophonic treatment. The middle section, beginning in measure 27, is set for five voices, places the melody in the tenor line with others punctuating the text. The tenors' eighth-note movement draws the listener's ear while remaining voices sing augmented lines. The final section, measure 36 to the end, adds a soprano descant (response) against the homophonic choral writing. Measures 53-57 hint in structure to the middle section, tenor lead with long lines in the other voices. The last phrase iterates the title phrase in all voices. All vocal ranges are well suited to the parts. The descant's tessitura is high and does include a B-flat. The use of non-chord tones adds richness and color to the harmonic structure. This may require some attention in rehearsal for accuracy. Performance options include doubling the voices for added stability. The open score may challenge less-experienced accompanists. You may sing this with a choir or small ensemble. It may be used as an anthem, call to confession, or call to discipleship. Appropriate days: Service themes on commitment and general worship.
