Two Motets after George Herbert Op. 258 - No. 1 Come My Way

Here is a fresh setting that deserves to be placed among the classic interpretations of this George Herbert poem. As is typical of Peter Pindar Stearns' style, this work contains many soaring, lyrical phrases for all the voice parts. Each verse is treated with further intensification of the harmonies and the voices expand to fill out the emotion of the words "such a joy as none can move." This anthem will require a sensitive performance to obtain the many subtleties within the parts here.
