Koppin & Newhouse - Your Hand in Mine

The writers' intent is to incorporate the sacred and the secular in this adaptation of the final, or seventh, of the Last Words of Christ, "Into your hands I commend my spirit." This movement, set for SSAATTBB chorus unaccompanied, begins with the Latin text and ends with Brian Newhouse's poem in English. The English text personalizes the experience and causes the listener to reflect on death in general, both Christ's and our own. Duration: 6:30 Part of the Lee Nelson Choral Series.
