Here I Am (Angotti) VOA 2/269

Now where was I …

 

I was surveying the songs in the WLP collection Voices As One Volume 2.

Healing Waters (268) was in AOV NG so I’ve already blogged that song here, which brings me to this song by John Angotti. While it says it is for cantor on the verses and all for the choruses, the verses are long and fiddly and suited to a solo interpretation.  Even the chorus is unfriendly for an assembly and goes pretty high, so this song is not going to cut it as liturgical. It has a coda with a funky call and response that leads to multiple harmony lines and would be a great concert piece.

The sheet music can be purchased at WLP and the text is in their sample.

 

You can see from this clip that he makes it a great a solo piece:
