Opening with its simple and poignant melody, Johnson's 2-part setting of the Latin text then divides to independent melodies echoing loveliness with each measure. The middle section moves forward in minor, building to a more dramatic close, then returning to the original 2-part melodies and a quiet closing. A beautiful selection for elementary and treble choirs.
