Diva by Christopher Upton — Lyrics
ALL God's creation bless the Lord eternal;
Angels, Archangels, Powers and Dominations,
Waters of heaven, bless the Lord eternal;
Praise him for ever.
Sun, moon and starlight, bless the Lord eternal;
Showers, dew and breezes, summertime and winter,
Fire, heat and burning, bless the Lord eternal;
Praise him for ever.
Cold, dews, and hoarfrost, ice and snow and vapours,
Daylight and darkness, thunderclouds and lightning,
High hills and mountains, bless the Lord eternal;
Praise him for ever.

About Diva
Christopher Upton's Diva is a jubilant SATB anthem, sung in English. Its text, drawn from a hymn of praise, calls upon all of creation to bless the Lord eternal. The music mirrors this expansive scope, with voices joyfully proclaiming the text. Beginning with the interplay of the vocal lines, the piece builds dynamically, reflecting the grandeur of the subject matter. Each section of creation, from celestial bodies to terrestrial elements, and from natural phenomena to all humanity, is invoked to offer praise. This hymn overflows with a sense of universal adoration and gratitude, making it a stirring choice for a choir.
