"Breathe on me, Breath of God" (NOVA VITA with Descants, Charles H. Giffen)
-
The Verse 2 descant is close to the original 2009 descant, composed for the ordination of the late Vern Barber. The Verse 3 and 4 descants were recently composed.
-
Here is a score (the audio score) with each verse in sequence, so that the descants don't appear all stacked up, hence probably easier for the organist and singers.
