Wondrous Love - Instrumentation and Notes

Program Notes

The hauntingly beautiful folk hymn, “Wondrous Love,” was discovered by William Walker, an American Baptist song leader and folk music compiler. In this setting for SATB choir and chamber orchestra, word painting, creative orchestration, imaginative harmony, and innovative counterpoint join together to intensify the beloved hymn’s powerful message.
