About Connection
William Billings’s Connection is a powerful SATB anthem in English, celebrating sacred music and divine praise. The composer opens with a jubilant invocation to sacred music itself, a celestial and perfect round. The text then shifts to praise for Jehovah and the eternal round of His mercy and ways. The music reflects this with its jubilant and majestic character, fitting for a declaration of God's greatness. Billings's energetic style is evident, creating a piece that is both a tribute to music's power and a fervent expression of faith.
