Words Adapted from John Oxenham and Philippians 2:1-2
Music by Kevin Raybuck
Description This hymn text on Christian unity blended with the second chapter of Philippians focuses on the importance of singularity in the body of Christ today. The composition is intended for two equal parts using treble and bass clef bifurcation. In a familiar linear style, this anthem is both singable and hastily teachable.
Editor's Notes This two-part anthem requires treble and bass voices and may be easily utilized by a male chorus of tenors and bass/baritones, (or you may have some bass-clef-reading women and be able to use it as a ladies anthem,) but you will probably want to try it with mixed voices. The tempo for this piece should be chosen so that the lines are sustainable by all choir members without staggered breathing. This should be around quarter =140. It should sound effortless and free. The octave displacements in the melody may be taught using the robbed octave pitch (mm 19-20 etc.) Both divisions of the anthem should have a sustained, assured sound.
