View the Score

Originally written for a Portuguese children’s choir, this simple a cappella setting could equally be performed by an adult women’s choir. It is mostly in two parts (SA), but there is an optional 3rd part towards the end of the piece. The first few measures may be sung as a solo. Translation: “Not unto us, Lord, but to your name give glory.”  The suggested dynamics may be varied ad lib. by the performers.
