Oh, May My Soul Commune with Thee - SSAA
This SSAA setting of “Oh, May My Soul Commune with Thee” offers a reverent, melodic interpretation of Lorin F. Wheelwright’s beloved hymn, as sung in the April 2022 General Conference of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. With a spirit of quiet devotion, the arrangement invites singers and listeners into deeper communion with the Lord.
Amy Dalton’s sensitive voicing allows the text to unfold with warmth and clarity. Rich yet transparent harmonies support the message beautifully, with soprano lines reaching as high as F♯ and inner voices carrying meaningful material throughout. Moderate to medium difficulty, the piece rewards careful preparation with a polished, moving performance.
For added convenience in performance, an optional accompaniment-only part is available separately to help minimize page turns in performance.
With formal training in piano performance and choral conducting, and experience performing with premier Church-affiliated ensembles such as the Tabernacle Choir at Temple Square, Dalton brings both artistry and devotional sensitivity to her work. This arrangement is ideal for advanced ward choirs, stake women’s choirs, and concert settings seeking music that inspires worship and reflection.
