The evocative devotional verses of celebrated poet George Herbert are given an accessible and contemporary treatment in this setting – syncopated rhythms, clapping, and captivating melodies capture the poem’s passion and resolve.
Come, My Way is full of hope and has a powerful spiritual “call” to come to truth, joy and love.
These are prominent themes we should all strive through our life. Set to a haunting minor mode with energetic, rhythmic music, and body percussion, this piece could be performed as a “stand alone” (a cappella) or with piano accompaniment.
