Original

Lord, Now You Let Your Servant Go in Peace composed by Craig Westendorf. For unison choir and organ. Sacred Anthem. Octavo. Published by Chorister's Guild. LO.CGA911. This lyrical setting of the Song of Simeon. Luke 2. 29-32. conveys the confidence and joy of Simeon in the temple on seeing the fulfillment of salvation in the Christ child. The fluid motion of the piece provides a vehicle for teaching legato, expressive phrasing. The inclusion of a doxology makes this simple setting of the ancient canticle suitable for formal celebrations of Evening Prayer in many traditions.
