Performance NotesI hope this setting with its strong text and simple melody, will be useful for you whatever yourresources. Let it find its way into the collective memory over time, because the best way tosing God’s praise is from the heart.

The Benedictus is an optional/alternate text of the same meter. We are including an assemblyedition of this for communities who would find it useful.

Both texts are inclusive in nature and do not include expressions which promote a limitedunderstanding of God.
