Taken from Your Table, Lord
Taken from Your Table is a sacred anthem to be sung during the Lord’s Supper or Communion. It is set for an SATB choir, SATB quartet, and piano or organ.
After the quartets’s introduction, an original melody is introduced by the sopranos accompanied by the alto, tenor and bass. A second melody (the hymntune Picardy, most often set to the hymntext Let All Mortal Flesh Keep Silence) is introduced by the women. The final section joins the two melodies with the sopranos carrying the Pidardy tune as a descant above the remaining choir, in unison on the original melody.
