Seek ye first the kingdom of God
Product Details
Description
This short but beautifully crafted motet for upper voices was composed for the combined girls choirs of Godolphin & Latymer School whilst Kerensa Briggs was Composer in Residence there in 2019. The well-known biblical text (Matthew 6: 33–4), often used as a hymn, is set with a reflective character in a largely homophonic texture using the composer’s signature rich harmonies. Essentially in three parts, there is further division which adds colour and expression. Suitable for intermediate upper voice choirs looking to expand their repertoire and bring new life to a familiar text.
