LET MY LOVE BE HEARD SATB choir with divisi, unaccompanied
Music jakerunestad.com
Text A Prayer by Alfred Noyes Angels, where you soar Up to God’s own light, Take my own lost bird On your hearts tonight; And as grief once more Mounts to heaven and sings, Let my love be heard Whispering in your wings.
Performance Time c. 4:00 Performance Notes When there is two-part divisi in the tenor or bass voice, this should be treated as a three-part, even split among the male voices.
