thou whose harmony is the music of the spheres (satb)

Thou Whose Harmony is the Music of the Spheres is a beautiful piece for mixed voices and oboe solo.  The lyrical obligato oboe part has an other-world feeling appropriate to the first line of the poem, a theme that is also expressed by the poised and harmonious movement of the vocal parts.  The excerpt  is used with the kind permission of the mount royal kantorei, david ferguson, director; recorded on cd-07; for separate oboe part, order S-221a.
