About Amity
This setting of Hineh matov u'mana'yim shevet achim gam yachad, a Hebrew text often translated as 'How good and how pleasant it is for brothers to dwell together in unity,' is conceived for SATB choir. Daniel Read's Amity is a sacred hymn that explores the beauty and harmony of communal togetherness. The composition embraces both the original Hebrew and English lyrics, allowing for a rich, multi-lingual expression of fellowship. Its structure is well-suited for congregational singing or as a moving anthem within a service, offering a message of unity that resonates across cultures and languages.
