This is an absolute gem for church or secular choirs. Very accessible ranges—can be sung in either octave—and a wash of sound floats over the listener with evocative text like, “set us free from that which binds, help us hear the endless song.” Effective in any number of settings—cultivating a meditative space for worship or contemplation, choir processing, or establishing a reflective atmosphere for a change of pace in a concert. Optional handbell/chime accompaniment can further establish an ethereal vibe.
