About Come Bless The Lord
Horst Hinze's Come Bless The Lord is a dynamic SATB setting that opens with the choir calling to bless the Lord. The piece moves between Latin and English, with the Latin text drawn from Psalm 134, a gradual psalm often sung on processions. The choir praises God in the heights, calling for blessings from Zion, acknowledging the Creator of heaven and earth. The composer employs a rich, homophonic texture for the initial pronouncements, building in intensity and harmonic colour as the text unfolds. This spiritual work offers a powerful and devotional experience, suitable for moments of communal praise and thanksgiving within a sacred service.
