About Creation

This anthem by Philo Sherman celebrates the wonder of creation, opening with a vivid depiction of God surveying the newly made world. The text paints a picture of light filling the heavens and the earth being adorned with color and food. It then turns to a more theological reflection, urging listeners to see the divine care in nature and to dismiss any doubts about the Creator’s goodness. Sherman’s setting for SATB voices in English amplifies the grandeur and theological message of the hymn, making it a stirring affirmation of faith.
