About God be in my head
Christopher Hampson's setting of God be in my head for SATB voices is a deeply devotional anthem that draws on ancient contemplative tradition. The text, presented here in both French and English, is a prayer for Christ's presence in every aspect of life, from thought and sight to speech and heart. The music mirrors the intimate and earnest nature of the prayer, with Hampson crafting flowing lines and sensitive harmonies that build towards moments of quiet intensity. Its sacred character and accessible yet moving musical language make it a profound choice for liturgical settings and contemplative occasions, offering a moment of spiritual reflection for both choir and congregation.
