Here I am to listen

Here I am to listen is a reflective SATB anthem for mixed choir. The text, in English, expresses a profound desire for spiritual attentiveness and transformation, offering oneself entirely to a higher power. The composer Frances Matthews has crafted music that gently underscores the devotional nature of the lyrics. The piece opens with a direct plea to be receptive to divine guidance, moving through stages of offering and surrender. It is suitable for services or concerts where a moment of quiet contemplation and spiritual depth is desired, allowing the choir to convey a message of humble submission and hopeful renewal through their performance.
