A bit less formal than the familiar text of this title, this John Bell text honors and gives thanks for all the faithful who have gone before us. Moore's folklike tune is scored for unison, 2- and 3-part voice over piano (optional guitar and bass), and cleverly quotes sine nomine ("For all the saints") as a descant over the final stanza.Ê

Sometimes that which appears to be the easiest of pieces becomes the most difficult to sing beautifully. In this setting of a Southern Harmony tune, the simple dulcimer-like accompaniment and sparse use of alternating unison and SA or SB texture reminds us that beauty and complexity are not necessarily synonymous. The text is a dialog-a song of mutual love between the Savior and the saved.More music for small choirs

This tune has a familiarity that will endear it to your choir the first time they sing it. The piece builds from unison, to a two-part round between the men's and women's voices, arriving at a three-part verse (a cappella optional). Even this final verse is not challenging. A great piece to have on hand when rehearsal time is short.

"How Deep the Silence of the Soul" appears as a two-stanza text, paired with KINGSFOLD (Common Meter Doubled), in Sylvia Dunstan's collection In Search of Hope and Grace, G-3614. With this arrangement, Carol Browning splits the stanzas into four, setting them to LAND OF REST (Common Meter).Listen to the music and follow the score in this preview video.

This lovely setting of of the Latin hymn "Ubi caritas" starts simply, with the melody in the soprano section, then moving into a lovely treble duet. The men's voices enter alone, singing in English, then are joined by the trebles, combining the Latin and English texts for a dynamic conclusion in a beautiful three-part texture.
