A Communion Contemplation

The last time we did this piece, I came across this piece in the SUMC music library and realized it would be a perfect fit to do it on March 5 not only because that's Communion Sunday but because it's the day of our annual Smorgasbord and Silent Auction.  How better to kick off a large community meal than with a song about communion?

This time, I thought I'd bring it back to mark the fifth anniversary of our last Smorgasbord and Silent Auction, which happened in the spring of 2019; there had been one planned for 2020, but COVID canceled those plans.

The soprano and alto parts are sung down an octave, except for the alto in the a cappella section (M. 22-37).
