For he purrs by Barbara Rosen — Lyrics
For he purrs in thankfulness when God tells him he's a good cat.
About For he purrs
Barbara Rosen’s For he purrs is a sacred canon for four equal voices in English. It explores a charmingly domestic image of divine approval, with the text suggesting a cat's contented purr as a response to God's affirmation. The canon form, with its imitative entries, lends itself perfectly to a sense of playful, yet profound, reflection on simple moments of grace. Rosen’s setting captures the gentle, affirming nature of the text, offering a light and engaging work suitable for a variety of choral settings.
