Description
Arrangement for flute choir of Mendelssohn's "O for the Wings of a Dove" (the last section of his anthem "Hear my prayer")
I have used mainly the lower flutes to represent the organ part, the C flutes to represent the choir and the piccolo to represent the treble (or soprano) soloist.

The sound sample is an electronic preview

The words of the original choral piece are:

O for the wings, for the wings of a dove,
Far away, far away I would rove.
O for the wings, for the wings of a dove,
Far away, far away,
Far away, far away I would rove.

In the wilderness build me a nest,
And remain there for ever at rest.
In the wilderness build me, build me a nest,
And remain there forever at rest.
