Items related to But let my due feet never fail: Vocal score (New Horizons)
for SATB (with divisions) and organ
This anthem sets a descriptive passage from Milton's Il Penseroso that sees the poet ask for guidance as he enters the 'studious Cloysters pale'. Jackson sensitively sets the words in homophonic and melismatic passages that build to a glorious climax for both choir and organ on 'And bring all Heav'n before mine eyes'. Ideal for dedications, ordinations, and confirmation services.

Review:
Both of these extended anthems [also O quam gloriosum] fit well within Jackson's established individual style, adding to his impressive catalog. The organ accompaniments are prominent, soloistic, and often demanding. Typical of Jackson's writing, the choral parts are predominantly homophonic, moving together even in passages of frenetic rhythmic activity . . . Both of these pieces are very challenging. Even with the fully diatonic context (both works are almost entirely devoid of any accidentals), the bold dissonances accentuated by jarring chord voicing will challenge any choir. Both anthems are impressive additions to the repertoire and are sure to appear in concert, recording, and ecclesiastical use.
