Description: Into the Woods My Master Went offers the Sidney Lanier text set to a folk-like melody with flowing sixteenth note accompaniment. Appropriate for Ash Wednesday or any time during Lent, choristers will readily learn this anthem’s melody line, yet will be challenged to work on the tuning of the intervals between the two voice parts.

Teaching Guide

  • Teach each phrase with text and melody together, emphasizing intonation and breath support.
