Description:
This compelling work tells the story of creation through a tapestry of biblical passages, spiritual writings, poems, and hymns by writers such as Thomas Traherne. The piece is structured around a recurring refrain, composed for upper voices, but also suitable for performance by any group from within the SATB choir, if an upper-voice choir is unavailable. Chilcott's great sensitivity to text brings this wondrous story to life, evoking images of 'the earth, the seas, the light, the day, the skies' being fashioned before our eyes.
