Now Is the Time SAS 2/352

This song by Tom Kendzia might be an entrance for Pentecost with its invocation of the Holy Spirit. The tune goes high enough that it could do without the key change for the last verse, but is otherwise singable. The introduction and interlude keyboard line looks tricky.

There is a call and response in the verse that is interesting in that the cantor gets the boring same note tune and the assembly gets something more fun.  It makes just as much sense with no cantor however.

The text is at spiritandsong.  The sheet music can be purchased for download at OCP.

You can hear the original here.

I couldn’t get all the chord changes to fit into BIAB for my backing.
