The anthem sets the text Beati mundo corde, which is the motto of Hurstpierpoint College, for whom it was written. The tempo should move along in a broad minim pulse and the phrases should be legato, but with careful attention to phrasing and word stress. Take care with the dynamics, especially the quiet entry in bar 47 and the pianissimo entry in bar 81, which should be a magical moment. You will need to decide whether a quartet or a semi chorus will provide the right balance in bar 83. It will depend upon the size of the choir, their ability to sing very quietly and the availability of four clear soloists. The soloists/semi chorus should be clearly heard above the choir without straining. From bar 95, it becomes a more equal balance and sonority between the two choirs.
