In arranging this for piano, I thought long and hard about Liszt and the way he used to arrange pieces not normally written for the instrument. Some of his arrangements, like the Tannhauser Overture, are transcriptions - in other words, they try to reproduce on piano exactly what the other instruments played - cover every note, or at least as many as you can, without changes. However, other of his arrangements add creativity - they change the accompaniment, add pianistic flourishes - that sort of thing. Reminisces de Norma is a better example of this sort of arrangement.
Well, this one probably falls somewhere in the middle of the two. It's exactly the same length as the original, keeping all the melodic highlights - with the exception of an ending that I added, as long, sustained notes don't sound as good on piano as they do with a choir. However, while the chords are the same, and the melody's kept, I didn't try to put every part in the arrangement, and I added some pianistic flourishes. The result, I hope, is something that has the same effect as the original but also sounds full, rich, and complete, in spite of the fact that it is now being played by one person on a piano instead of with a choir and orchestra. I hope you enjoy it!
