That cracked me up the first time I heard it. I was taking a deep dive into Stopford's repertoire after learning Do Not Be Afraid for a friend's grandfather's funeral and I thought "hey I've heard that before"
What a gift, especially to those of us in the USA, who are wrangled with such sadness all around us. I sent it to a friend, a priest, who lost his dad to CoVid-19 on Easter day, and whose mother has been in hospital for 50+ days. We both wept. Thank you.
Currently a part of our church choir has the privilege to study this piece - at a lot of meters distance because of covid-19 for the service of Oct. 11. I am sure this music will bring us spiritually closer to Him and each other overcoming the necessary physical distance. My favorite is m. 43-44. Thanks for this music, kind regards from the Netherlands.
The harmonic mood on the third beat of m22 (01:19) is a moment of heaven. Of course, that's not the only one; I can't list them all, I'll be here all day.
I always get moved to tears when singing this anthem, but can’t help but smile at the self-reference to “Do Not Be Afraid” 4:24

A masterpiece of choral music

This one always brings me to happy tears.
Eat your heart out, John Rutter! :-D
A song of his Love for man /woman kind from God almight.
Brilliant, moving, comforting.
Stupendo!

That's always my problem

Nice, but the bass line of the SATB score is missing for half of the video. Was trying to learn for church choir.
Perhaps you should by the sheet music...
