#630: In Heaven Above
The composer has an awesome name--Laurentius L. Laurinus. The L is short for "Laurentii," as in Laurentius Laurentii Laurinus. I'm assuming he came from the Galileo Galilei school of nomenclature, but still!!
The alto part is somewhat less interesting, and involves a lot of E-flat.
The alliteration of "face to face and full and free" seems a little bit over-the-top, but I think that's an artifact of translation rather than part of the original Swedish.
