About God, be in my head (2 part)
This gentle anthem for two-part treble voices begins with a flowing melodic line that is soon joined by a second voice, creating a delicate interplay. The composer sets a prayer in both French and English, asking for Jesus to be present in every aspect of life, from thought and sight to speech and heart. The simple, devotional text is a plea for divine guidance and presence throughout life and even in death. Brooks-Davies’ setting is sensitive and direct, allowing the clarity of the message and the blend of the two voices to shine through. Its homophonic texture and clear harmonic language make it an accessible and affecting choice for treble choirs.
