For He Is an Instrument by Barbara Rosen — Lyrics
For he is an instrument for the children to learn benevolence upon.
For having considered God and himself he will consider his neighbor.
About For He Is an Instrument
This delightful canon for four equal voices is a thoughtful setting of an English text that encourages contemplation of benevolence and neighbourly love. The composer skillfully uses the canonic structure to weave together the voices, creating a texture that is both unified and imitative. As the voices enter one by one, they build a rich harmonic sound, mirroring the idea of individual actions contributing to a greater good. The music's character is gentle and uplifting, reflecting the sacred nature of the text. For He Is an Instrument offers a rewarding musical experience, exploring profound spiritual ideas through accessible and engaging part-singing.
