This concertato setting was commissioned in celebration of the 500th anniversary of the Reformation. The setting features a sprightly and majestic brass and organ introduction with a recurring theme that appears several times throughout the piece. The choral stanza captures the mood of the text.
The piece is available in both an isometric version as well as a rhythmic version.
Instrumental parts include: Brass Sextet (Two Trumpets in B-flat or C, Horn in F, Two Trombones, and Tuba), Percussion (Timpani, Chimes, Suspended Cymbals, and Crash Cymbals)
