COMPOSER’S NOTE
In this setting of Saint Paul’s great statement, I have tried in a simple and primordial manner to suggest majesty, solemnity and a radiance of peaceandbliss. I have also given the music a ceremonial nature by inserting ‘Allelouias’ sounding from ‘Heaven’ (semi-chorus), gradually rising in pitch until they are answered by ‘Allelouias’from‘The World’ (main choir). The music forms a gradual crescendo reflecting the meaning of the words.
At the musical and spiritual climax, the full organ sounds four chords which represent The Four Angelsbeforethe Throne of God. The final chord then transforms into the sacred monosyllable OM, which hums around the building, representing the Peace and Beatitude of God’s Presence.
