And God said, let the earth

This setting for SATB voices opens with a sense of gentle unfolding, the musical material growing organically from the text. The composer skillfully weaves together the creation narrative from Genesis with selected verses from Psalms, creating a rich tapestry of praise. The voices move with a smooth, flowing character, depicting the abundance of the earth and the provision of God. The anthem moves through moments of both quiet reflection and confident declaration, culminating in a powerful expression of thanksgiving for God's enduring goodness and mercy. The English text allows for clear and direct communication of these sacred themes.
