I know whom I have believed

George Alexander Macfarren's setting of I Know Whom I Have Believed is a devotional anthem for SATB choir. The English text is a prayer of steadfast faith, expressing trust in God's ability to preserve what has been committed to Him. Macfarren's composition, rooted in the tradition of English sacred music, provides a powerful and accessible vehicle for this message. Its direct and heartfelt expression makes it an ideal choice for services, particularly as an entrance song, where it can establish a tone of reverent assurance. The SATB voicing allows for rich harmonic textures and a compelling dynamic range, enhancing the devotional impact of the text.
