I Still Possess

Written for The Wartburg Choir in celebration of the 500th anniversary of the Reformation, this piece juxtaposes a vernacular quote of Martin Luther ("...whatever I have placed in God's hands, that I still possess") with his text "Wir glauben all einen Gott," creating a powerful expression of hope. The quote is set in rubato choral style, the hymn text is set to the actual WIR GLAUBEN tune in a sort of chant style. Unusual and memorable.
