The text of this dynamic anthem for SATB voices and organ is based on the well-known Isaiah 40 passage that encourages us to “rise on wings as eagles and run and not grow weary, for our hope is in the Lord.” The first section features a spirited, moving melody mostly in unison with canonic effects. The contrasting middle section features 4-part harmony in a freer, reflective style, which then builds through an organ transition to a recapitulation of the first theme. The closing section features some open score polyphony and some divisi as the final phrase repeats “Our hope is in the Lord” and builds to a majestic finale. This anthem is suitable for general use throughout the year and will work best for a choir that can handle independent polyphonic phrases in each voice part and a higher tessitura.
