The essence of “wait” is captured in the opening section which gives way to a new tempo, building with the “mounting on wings.” The true soaring takes place with a 12/8 meter, voices building in triumph. A final return to the “waiting” theme provides an assurance that has permeated the entire composition.08301926 SATB .....................................................................$2.35
