Nunc Dimittis (Klemp)
Peter S. Klemp's gently rhythmic setting of a paraphrase of the Nunc Dimittis text is framed by a treatment of the traditional Nunc Dimittis from Lutheran Service Book Divine Service, Setting Three.
Peter S. Klemp's gently rhythmic setting of a paraphrase of the Nunc Dimittis text is framed by a treatment of the traditional Nunc Dimittis from Lutheran Service Book Divine Service, Setting Three. Klemp's setting for SATB choir, piano, violin, and optional percussion (shaker and suspended cymbal) quotes the tune THE ASH GROVE (bringing to mind the hymn "Sent Forth by God's Blessing") and the canticle "Thank the Lord and Sing His Praise" from Divine Service, Setting One. This anthem is an ideal choice at any celebration of the Lord's Supper and at the close of service.
