Beschreibung
A dramatic and powerful setting of an iconic text, this work opens with a
homophonic passage for full choir (divisi) with wide, slow dynamic gradations
and silences. Polyphonic sections alternate with further homophony, upper
voices then usher in a very soft pasage over lower voice drones before a
fortissimo ending derived from the work's beginning.
Setting of Revelation 21: 16a commisioned by Soli Deo Gloria with support
from Crossway Bibles and from the University of Chicago, and premiered in
June 2011 by the University of Chicagos Rockefeller Chapel Choir and Motet
Choir.
