It was originally intended to be unaccompanied, but it proved quite taxing for the singers, who need to maintain long legato lines without remission, building to a climax and reducing down to very little while maintaining complete control. So I added an independent organ part that provides support at crucial moments but also wanders off on its own way at times, giving the choir a rest. It could be performed with or without the organ part.
