Come Unto Me

(click title to view and hear online)

 

When sung SSAB, Come Unto Me is an excellent piece for an adult church choir with a limited number of male singers. This is a setting from Matthew 11:28-30. The work beings in a 20th century, dissonant style.  There is a key change followed by an a cappella setting of verse 29 in a more homophonic consonant approach.  Following another key change, verse 30 is set in fugal style, supported by a duplication of the voice parts on piano.  After returning to the original key and a brief piano interlude, Vick closes the work with a stately unison setting of the Welsh hymn tune Meirionydd (words by William C. Dix).
