Benediction (von Kampen)
Modern choral writing at its finest, a setting for SATB choir and organ by David von Kampen of the standard Aaronic blessing text from Numbers 6:24-26 (“The Lord bless you and keep you”).
Modern choral writing at its finest, a setting for SATB choir and organ by David von Kampen of the standard Aaronic blessing text from Numbers 6:24-26 ("The Lord bless you and keep you"). The spacious melody and warm, rich choral writing prove von Kampen to be among the best choral composers of today. A memorable selection at the end of any service, this piece is particularly well-suited on those occasions when a blessing is appropriate, such as anniversary, baptism, confirmation, dedication, ordination, installation, and wedding. It is also the perfect piece to close a choral concert or festival. Numbers 6:24-26 is read on the Circumcision and Name of Jesus.
