God, be in my head (SATB)

Douglas Brooks-Davies's setting of God, be in my head is a sacred anthem for SATB choir. The text, originally in French and presented here alongside an English translation, is a powerful devotional plea for Christ's presence in all aspects of life – thought, sight, speech, heart, and ultimately in death. The composer's musical setting aims to reflect the intimate and earnest nature of the prayer. This anthem provides a contemplative and spiritual experience, suitable for services or concerts seeking a reflective mood. The SATB voicing allows for rich harmonic textures, enhancing the devotional message and creating a profound sense of supplication.
