Original

Spirit of God, Descend Upon My Heart composed by Richard Lakey. For SSAATB choir, a cappella. Cathedral. Choral, General, Pentecost. Medium. Medium Difficult. Choral octavo. Published by Paraclete Press. PL.0311. A lyrical text for Pentecost by George Croly is given here in a rich, yet fresh musical setting. The work begins with women alone in four-part divisi. The men join later with the theme and the music is further developed in ever richer harmony and a gradual crescendo to the words, "my heart an altar and Thy love the flame. " The work concludes quietly with a reminiscence of the original theme. This is a challenging yet satisfying work for the more accomplished choir who are experienced in 'a cappella' work.
