Disposer supreme, and Judge of the earth (II)

This striking setting of a hymn text opens with a clear, diatonic melody for solo voice, soon joined by a descant line that weaves above it, creating a rich and uplifting texture. The music is characterized by its spaciousness and radiant harmony, perfectly complementing the reverent words which offer praise and glory to God, the supreme disposer and judge of all. The text speaks of God's light calling us from darkness to his glory, a message powerfully conveyed through the soaring lines of the vocal parts. This sacred piece offers a wonderful opportunity for expressive singing.
