I know not what may befall me

Joseph Barnby's I know not what may befall me is a setting of a text of profound trust and spiritual conviction, suitable for services of commitment or times of uncertainty. Its title reflects a steadfast faith in divine providence, offering comfort and reassurance. Scored for SATB choir, the music aims to convey a sense of calm assurance, with clear melodic lines and rich harmonic support. This hymn-like anthem, written in English, would lend itself well to congregational participation or as a reflective anthem within a larger service, its message resonating with a universal human experience of seeking guidance and peace in the face of the unknown.
