"God Loved the World So That He Gave" features the beloved hymn text in a gorgeous new tune and setting. The good news of God's love for us is expressively proclaimed through the full dynamic ranges of the choir and organ. Careful use of unison, two-part, and four-part writing makes this piece easy to learn. But accessibility has not compromised artistry; the setting is ripe with variety, harmonic richness, appropriate text-painting, and keen awareness of text emphasis and flow.
