Jesus Lover of My Soul

By Heather Sorenson

One of the most passionate sacred texts in all hymnody is visited with bittersweet music in this melancholy offering for Lent. Two renowned hymn tunes, ABERYSTWYTH and MARTYN, are employed to carry the truth of this beloved message of faith. Fully engaged choral writing provides sonorous glory throughout, with gentle moments of counterpoint interjected for diversity. Refined and nuanced, the piano writing adds delicate beauty.
