By the Waking of Our Hearts SAS 1/102

This is another Ricky Manalow song, this time with a Japanese/Asian style in a setting based on the Pentecost sequence.

The text is here and it can be purchased for download at OCP. Perhaps it could be used as a gentle gathering him during the Fifty Days of Pentecost with different verses chosen each week. The verse gets pretty high and might need a cantor. I’m not convinced by the idiom and it strikes me as being at risk of being patronising and cringeworthy.

My backing puts the counter melody/harmony in from the second verse. The lines are separated in the stereo mix to assist learning the tunes.
