A delightful arrangement of a classic Advent text from the 9th-century, this gently flowing piece begins with a statement of the melody coupled by a simple arpeggiated accompaniment. The undulating rhythm is broken mid-piece by a more chordal harmonic movement that reflects the reverence and magnitude of the text, “At your great name, O Jesus, now all knees must bend, all hearts must bow.” It ends as it began with a strong restatement of the opening accompaniment.
