Pure pristine harmonies reflect the simple desires of this prayer. Yet as the yearnings intensify with each verse so do the textures and tone colors of this wonderful a cappella arrangement. The third verse in particular hassome fabulous dissonances and rhythmic effects. “Nearer My God to Thee” is lovely and very moving.
