These are the hands (text by Michael Rosen) is the fourth movement of Howard Goodall’s heartfelt cantata Unconditional Love, a poignant reflection upon the COVID-19 crisis.

The cantata commemorates the selflessness and togetherness felt by communities across the world during the pandemic, and it is hoped that its universal messages will resonate with choirs of all kinds and in all places.

This movement is written for SATB choir, piano, organ and brass ensemble and this vocal score includes a rehearsal piano part.
