Published in 2001, this work exemplifies Potts deep sensitivity to sacred texts and his mastery of choral texture, making it a distinguished addition to the modern Anglican choral tradition.The piece sets the reverent medieval hymn attributed to St. Bernard of Clairvaux, translated into English by Edward Caswall. Potts musical treatment is rich with luminous harmonies, imaginative voicing, and emotional depth, offering choirs an opportunity to engage deeply with the spiritual content and musical substance of the work.Written for two SATB choirs, the piece explores a dialogic structure and antiphonal textures, creating a spatial and sonic richness that is particularly effective in resonant acoustic spaces. The interplay between the two choirs enhances the meditative quality of the text, as phrases echo and respond across the ensemble.With a length of 18 pages, this composition is suitable for advanced choral ensembles and ideal for worship services, liturgical celebrations, sacred concerts, and choral festivals. It offers both performers and listeners a moving musical experience, one that honors the contemplative beauty and enduring spiritual resonance of its timeless text.Product FeaturesFormat:ScoreInstrumentation:Mixed Voices (2 SATB)Page Count:18 pagesGenre:Contemporary choral music suitable for worship and performanceInteresting FactsThematic Depth:The piece reflects themes of devotion and reverence, making it particularly suitable for religious services and special occasions.Performance Flexibility:”Jesu, the Very Thought of Thee” can be performed by a variety of choirs, from church ensembles to community groups, enhancing its accessibility.Composer Background:Francis Pott is known for his contributions to choral music, often blending traditional and contemporary styles to create engaging works.PublishersPublished by Ricordi in 2001.
