So sorry Sally- I didn’t read the full explanation you wrote concerning the question I just posted about the key difference. I love all your music and appreciate your willingness to freely share your talents. It is so helpful for ward choirs! Thank you!

It seems that the accompaniment part is in a different key than the written music. When I play the notes on the music for the choral part it isn’t in the same key. It may be confusing for our violins who are practicing with the recorded track.

Heard this sung in a performance this past weekend and I just LOVED IT!!! One because it’s also one of my all time favorites. Thank you so much for making this available and thanks to the church members who sang this. My heart is full and now I get to keep it in my book for when I want to play it.

In reply to Liza. I don't see an SSAATB accompaniment in the list above. In the FAQ, Sally says: "If you need a song transposed, you are welcome to use the Personal Composer Demo to transpose it. I simply cannot do transpositions on demand." The link to the transposition instructions is at the end of the 'About the Song' section above.

So beautiful! Is there an accompaniment for the SSAATTBB choral version that is in that same key?

My kids were just asking why we don’t see more Anglican songs in our hymn book (we are blessed to be going to an Anglican Grammar), and this was an answer to her prayers! Yes! Love this! Thank you for sharing, and the arrangement is beautiful. I can’t wait to see her classmates listening to think “I’ve heard this tune before!” Thank you!
