"Be Still" is a comforting, tender composition which helps the singer find the quiet place in her/his heart. Tender, relaxed, and flowing, this anthem is a fresh and compelling setting of the Psalm 46:10 passage which is so badly needed in the 21st Century.
Coming from Mary, you would expect the piano accompaniment to be robust and grand. It is. Suitable for adults or students, this anthem also wears well in the combined choir setting. We believe your singers will enjoy both rehearsing and performing this beauty.
