Sheet Music: ScoreThe heavens declare : a choral symphony for large chorus and orchestra / Paul Stanhope.by Paul Stanhope (1999)
|
Product details
The Heavens Declare is a compact Choral Symphony, setting of four Old Testament texts in their Latin translations: a section from the creation story in Genesis (which I imagined as a dreamtime story), two joyful Psalm excerpts and a more angst-ridden passage from the book of Job. These form a five-part arch structure in a single continuous movement which begins with creation and ends not with the end, but with a single word "luninaria" which translates as "lights", suggesting that creation is an ongoing process.
