An original setting of the poem by William Blake
(1757-1827) from "Songs of Innocence and Experience"
for unaccompanied SATB choir. This is a passionately
religious poem about the compassion of God, set in 5/8
to give it a hint of plainchant, yet maintaining its
lyrical, romantic feel throughout. A piano reduction is
included in the score to help with practice.
