Description
Though it is one of the most beloved texts in all of scripture, there are relatively few musical settings of the Beatitudes (Matthew 5:3-12). This setting by Craig Phillips will become a favorite of choirs and congregations. The anthem opens with a plainchant-like melody, initially creating a subdued mood. The melody continues to return in ongoing transformation as the music grows in intensity to a glorious final "Alleluia," celebrating those for whom "great is the reward in heaven."
