Synopsis

for SATB (with divisions) and organ or piano
Quartel's poignant setting of a text by Angier Brock invites us to reflect on how we receive the imago dei in others. Gentle and accessible, yet captivating throughout, this piece centres on themes of faithful living, hospitality, and reconciliation, as it builds towards the climactic line 'embolden us to love our foes'. A supportive and flowing accompaniment underpins the choir.
