Gardner by Daniel Belknap — Lyrics
About Gardner
This sacred anthem for treble, bass, and tenor voices sets a profound English text that reflects on the sacrifice of Christ. The words, often sung during Lent or on Good Friday, explore the paradox of finding redemption through suffering and the humbling of worldly pride in the face of divine love. Daniel Belknap's setting emphasizes the contemplative and devotional nature of the text, offering a powerful opportunity for a choir to convey deep spiritual emotion through its unified sound. The STB voicing allows for rich harmonies and a balanced texture, suitable for services or concerts seeking music of earnest reflection and theological depth.
