The tune of Londonderry Air is one of the most popular, satisfying melodies ever written, and this brand-new text by Kristyn Getty has finally captured what the tune never carried before. Molly Ijames's setting of this piece opens with an endearing solo soprano line and enters the choral parts as a sweeping accompaniment. The voices build together for a final climax, and then the convicting solo returns at the end, reminding us again of our privilege to follow Christ. This piece is a must for your church choir. Optional instrumentation includes violins, viola, cello, and bass and is available from the SoundForth Office. Please call 1.800.258.7288.
