An Iona-style song for worship to be premiered the first Sunday of Advent 2008, and sung the next three weeks as well. It will be be sung as congregational "preparation" before the Gospel readings. In Iona tradition, I will teach the soprano and tenor parts by rote; and add the simple, almost drone-like alto and bass parts as the congregation becomes comfortable on the other lines.

To extend the song, start with Sop 1, add Tenor, then Bass, then Soprano 2, to build to four-part harmony.
