Repertoire Note
Choral level of difficulty: 1 (5 greatest)
This is a setting for unison voices and organ with an optional Doxology and Great Amen which can be sung separately or as a continuous performance by following the instructions. It is a lovely, melodic setting in a triple meter which is entirely straightforward. Even within this simple setting MacMillan writes a familiar ornamental turn at the words ‘temptation’ and ‘evil’ which gives those words a little edginess to colour them.
