OCP: Music that serves God's people
OCTAVO SPOTLIGHT
God, Sing in Me a Song of Love Casey McKinley and Barbara Hamm
Hamm's text, from OCP's hymnary Unite Our Hearts features themes of Christian life, discipleship, love for others, petition, praise, social concern, and trust, which are enriched by McKinley's compelling, prayerful melodic setting. The keyboard provides ample support for the SATB choir while the solo instrument in C adds a countermelody that soars above. Guitar accompaniment is also included. Immediately appealing to the assembly and of easy/medium difficulty, it will come together with little rehearsal time, making this a versatile choice for choirs of all sizes and abilities.
