Sing, My Tongue, the Glorious Battle
Part of the Concordia Children’s Series, this is a fresh take on a strong hymn for Lent and Holy Week
Part of the Concordia Children’s Series, this is a fresh take on a strong hymn for Lent and Holy Week. Matthew Machemer recasts the tune in compound meter, giving the setting a vital, dance-like feel without sacrificing the integrity of the tune or text. The motion stops during stanza 3, as the listener ponders the serious nature of Christ’s work on the cross. With vocal writing that is interesting and accessible, this setting will serve choirs well for years to come.
