OCP: Music that serves God's people
OCTAVO SPOTLIGHT
On Eagle's Wings Michael Joncas
This year marks the 50th anniversary of this beloved and well-known hymn! Based on Psalm 91, the weekly psalm for Sunday Compline in the Liturgy of the Hours, its features themes of faith, healing, hope, trust, refuge, and resurrection. Associated with the day’s ending, the piece is especially suitable for penitential seasons, the anointing of the sick, and funerals. Poignant suspensions, a fluid harmonic shift to the parallel minor in the verse, and a rising sequence in the refrain musically depict these various topics.
