Since it takes the form of a solemn and official declaration, it is often recited standing, with a scroll held next to the reader. THE MUSIC - This setting is in a grand manner with an optional piano accompaniment, making it suitable for concert use. At the same time, the choral version is written for ease of learning and execution, and the work in general is designed to be congregationally singable. Care should be taken to differentiate straight eighth notes in the vocal part(s) against triplet eighths in the accompaniment. It will be noted that due to technical limitations of digital playback, this is not always ideally demonstrated in the audio & video samples offered here.  |
