John Rutter : Open thou mine eyes

Part of the John Rutter Anniversary Edition, this a cappella anthem, suitable as an introit or call to worship, was inspired by Celtic folksong.

Composer: John Rutter

Howard Goodall : Open thou mine eyes

Selected verses of Psalm 119 are set for SSATB voices and organ. Unexpectedly, the music is rhythmic and angular, yet still lyrical. This piece would be a memorable one for any accomplished ensemble. The organ part is a non-stop tour de force and requires a very capable player. The choral parts are also a bit challenging in spots. The combined effect is worth it and we think your choir and your listeners will acclaim the results.

Composer: Howard Goodall
