An intriguing contemporary sound for this romantic text from Scripture—you may find yourself swaying and whistling along. The soloist should be comfortable with the syncopation in the verses, while the addition of the background vocals (three voices in close harmony plus a descant) really adds to the aura of the piece, especially in the assembly’s refrain.
