Anthem "Awake, My Heart" (Choir, Pipe Organ)

Anthem "Awake, My Heart" (Choir, Pipe Organ),
Jane M. Marshall (b.1924),
camcorded live 26 October 2008

"Awake my heart and render to God thy sure defender,
thy Maker, thy preserver, a song of love and fervor.
Confirm my deeds and guide me: my day, with thee beside me,
beginning, middle, ending, will all be upward tending.
My heart will be thy dwelling, with joy and gladness swelling;
thy word my nurture, given to bring me on toward heaven."
Text: Paul Gerhardt, (1607-1676)

Marvelous, Wayne!! I perform the piece differently, and use a quite different registration, but your choir's interpretation is spot on and excellent. 4 stars.
