Let Us Begin This Day

Emptying the Finale Folder (2011)

Using a text from “Psalms Now” by Leslie Brandt, this is “Let Us Begin This Day”. 

Taken from Psalm 95 and 126,  It tells us that we are to begin each day with singing, whether we feel like it or not.  Each day before us is uncertain and we no not what each day will bring.   But, wherever we go, we go forth as servants of the living God to  touch the lives of all we meet  with God’s healing love. If we do this, we will end each day with praises.  

 I feel it is a very appropriate text for our times. It is scored for SATB with some divisi, keyboard and with an optional  brass quintet.  The recording is The Texas Voices, Alan Dyer, director.
