They Cast Their Nets in Galilee

 • simple accompaniment introduces and bridges this beloved, intimate
text about Jesus and His disciples
 • starting with women's voices in unison, followed by men in unison
and opening to four-part, the voicing is natural, adding musical
interest, while highlighting the words
 • rhythmic motive in the melodic line gives a folk-like lilt
 • articulation marks add dramatic impact for the final verse, which
is set for unison melody with descant, with mid-range tessitura.
 • solo stops on the organ are suggested throughout, adding
interest and color
