From heaven the loud, the angelic song by Oliver Holden — Lyrics
From heaven the loud, the angelic song began,
It shook the skies and reached astonished man;
By man reechoed, it shall mount again,
While fragrant odors fill the blissful plain.
Worthy, worthy the Lamb of boundless sway,
In earth or heaven the Lord of all.

About From heaven the loud, the angelic song
Oliver Holden's anthem From heaven the loud, the angelic song is a stirring setting of a jubilant English text. The words celebrate the divine power and ultimate victory of the Lamb, moving from the heavenly proclamation to Christ's resurrection and reign. This SATB arrangement allows for a rich, full sound, ideal for conveying the grandeur and exultation of the text. The piece's devotional subject matter and its anthemic style make it a fitting choice for services and choral concerts. Holden's composition likely draws upon the traditions of sacred choral music, offering a powerful musical interpretation of profound theological themes.
