AND THE GLORY OF THE LORD

"And the Glory of the Lord" is a monumental chorus that instantly lifts the atmosphere of any Mass or choral concert. With its joyful, driving rhythm, it carries the prophetic declaration from Isaiah that God's glory is about to be shown to the world. In Nigerian choir lofts, this piece is a major favorite for Advent, Christmas, and grand festive occasions where the choir wants to offer something truly majestic and celebratory.

Singing this piece is an exercise in alertness and vocal energy. The voices enter one after another, layering their parts until they build up to the massive, unified proclamation that "all flesh shall see it together." It demands precise timing from every section, especially when navigating the overlapping entries and the firm, confident declarations that anchor the music.

What makes this chorus so moving is the sheer conviction in its final phrases. When the choir delivers the line "for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it," it leaves no room for doubt. It rings out across the pews with a sense of divine promise and awe, reminding the congregation of the absolute certainty of God's word.
