Robert Roth has created a moving hymn-anthem for this beloved text from St. Francis of Assisi. The organ introduction hints at the musical material to follow and the first verse is in four parts a cappella. The second and third verses feature the men and women respectively while the fourth verse places the melody in the tenor voice. The climactic fifth verse features a descant for a few voices and the melody for the rest of the choir in unison. The harmonic setting is of interest as the second half of each verse is more chromatic in style. This anthem would be appropriate for general use as well as a choral prayer.

A choir is one of the most wonderful gatherings of humanity that we can be a part of. Within every ensemble is a collection of budding or accomplished thinkers, dreamers, artists, athletes, entrepreneurs, philosophers, politicians, public servants, scientists, and more. Chances are good that there is enough thought power in your ensemble to solve most of the world's problems. But sometimes we are afraid to speak up.  We don't think our individual voice matters. Or we just assume we'll be drowned out by the louder voices that tend to get noticed first.This piece is about finding your voice: having the courage to speak up about the things on your heart and the things that can help make our world a better place.And so we must sing. The world needs your voice!—Mark Patterson.

This volume of the “Halle Handel Edition†presents the music of the second version of the opera which was premiered on 28 December 1720 at the King's Theatre, Haymarket, London as well as the amendments made for November 1721 revival. The appendix includes the amendments for the January/February 1728 version.The first season of the Royal Academy ended on 25 June 1720. The new vocal soloists arrived in London in September. As the first version of “Radamisto†had been a great success during the first season, Handel revised the opera for the oncoming season to accommodate it to his new more proficient cast.The revision was extensive. It included:1) Changes to the vocal range of Radamisto (soprano to alto for the singer Senesino), Zenobia (alto to soprano for the female singer Durastanti) and Tiridate (tenor to bass for the singer Boschi),2) compositions of new arias and ensembles,3) significant changes to the plot consisting of the reduction of Fraartes’ role from brother to servant Tiridates and the omission of his not so original love affair to Zenobia.For most of Handel's operas it can be said that the first version is the best version. This is due to the fact that when a work was performed again in later seasons, Handel was often forced to make changes due to casting constraints which often affected the equilibrium and the dramatic context of the work. “Radamisto†is an exception to this rule – the December 1720 adaptation is a much more superior composition than the version performed in April of the same year.

The parable of the unforgiving servant (Matthew 18:21‚35) inspired Ken to write this contemporary folk-style piece that calls us to pardon offenses and reflect God‚ presence. The verses make use of cantor and two-part women‚ choir and the refrain features SATB choir. The well-crafted oboe line gently soars over the minimal instrumentation.
