Lord, You Have Been
Our Dwelling Place
Wesley Snyder’s original composition is a homophonic setting of passages from a combination of Psalms. When this four-part setting is sung by early adolescents it is voiced SSCB and rated as medium-difficult. When sung by older adolescents or adults it is voiced SSAB and is rated as easy. The meter signature varies throughout depending upon the demands of the textual emphasis of the phrase. The harmony is mostly diatonic, but some mild dissonance is distributed throughout to provide a kinship to the 19th century and early 20th century harmonic practices. It is suited for church worship, as well as festivals and contests. This is a 2nd edition which has includes a slight title and the text edit from the 1st edition title (Lord, Thou Hast Been Our Dwelling Place). It has the same catalog number as the first edition.
