About Addison
This moving SATB setting of Addison is ideal for occasions calling for reflection and communal unity. The text, drawn from Psalm 133, speaks of the beauty and pleasantness of brethren dwelling together in harmony. Alexander Gillet’s composition opens with the Hebrew phrase, often translated as 'Behold, how good and how pleasant it is when brethren dwell together in unity,' setting a tone of peaceful contemplation. The work seamlessly transitions to English, allowing for a broader understanding and a deeper connection to its message of fellowship and shared experience. Its hymn-like character makes it a fitting choice for services or events focused on community and spiritual connection.
