One of today's most popular hymns from our neighbors in Mexico is Pues Si Vivimos (When We Are Living). The Latin American rhythms of the tune SOMOS DEL SENOR complement the lyrical lines of the instrumental obbligato and SATB voices. The text quotes Paul's words to the Philippians that "to live is Christ, to die is gain," making this anthem of assurance and hope especially powerful in the face of suffering or loss.

This beautiful piece speaks through an excellent text with a melody that fits perfectly. Also quoting the beloved Mexican hymn "When We Are Living," your youth or adult choir will love to sing this endearing piece. The oboe part is a strong contributor, but if oboe is not available, the part (in C Major) will also be easily adaptable to violin or flute.
The Bottom Line
Pros
This will be a favorite for youth or adults.
