CGA1543 The Children of God
Description
Jesus' Sermon on the Mount - and specifically, the Beatitudes - is set in a delightful way by composer Nathan Smith. A bubbly melody tells the story of Jesus lifting up the merciful, the pure in heart, and the peacemakers. A beautiful, soaring descant enters on the final refrain, fully supported by a wonderful piano accompaniment. Consider pairing this anthem with a reading of Matthew 5:7-9, or use this musical retelling in place of a spoken reading.
Voicing: Unison/two-part with piano
Composer: Nathan Smith
Text: Original, based on Matthew 5:7-9
