Be Who God Meant You to Be
SATB(B) a capella with Solo Soprano
Publisher: Boosey & Hawkes
Category: Choral
Series: Boosey & Hawkes Sacred Choral
Format: Octavo


Short motet commissioned by St. Dominic's Sixth Form College, Harrow-on-the-Hill, UK, to celebrate its 40th anniversary. MacMillan chose a text which is entirely appropriate to young people about to be let loose on the world to fulfil their potential: 'Be who God meant you to be and you will set the world on fire.' But where another composer might have made this a fanfare, MacMillan writes with the gentleness of sincerity. The music is very straightforward and in wanting a solo soprano line he outlines all the ways this can be achieved: soloist, group of sopranos, or all the sopranos if the altos can be split into two. The choir repeats the mantra text above throughout the motet, while the soprano solo line is given the prayer which follows. Only at the very end do they all join together in the words 'Jesus, love, Jesus, love' with a lovely E major ending.
