Dear all,
I have just completed a new 4-part hymn in the Mixolydian mode! Writing the music in this mode gives it an unexpected flavor that feels fresh and exciting. The music is very easy and is suitable for a choir of any size or experience. The text is perfect for any season, because it mentions elements of each! (The Incarnation, the Crucifixion, the Resurrection, the Transfiguration, Lent).
Here is the text:
How can God’s Son come down,And yet remain on High?Put on He flesh indeedHis nature to belie.(Chorus)Only through Love DivineCan He to us draw nigh;The Lord defeated deathTo raise us to the Sky.What Bounty found is This,That sinful Man repairs;That up did Laz’rus raise,And our salvation bears?(Chorus)Only through Love DivineCan He to us draw nigh;The Lord defeated deathTo raise us to the Sky.
