About Great and marvellous are thy works
Henry Thomas Smart's anthem Great and marvellous are thy works opens with a powerful affirmation of divine majesty. The SATB choir immediately establishes the grand scope of the text, with voices interweaving to depict the awe-inspiring nature of God's creation and the righteousness of his judgments. The music builds dynamically, reflecting the biblical text's profound declaration that all nations shall come and worship. This is a stirring anthem, suitable for a significant moment in a service, that captures the immensity and holiness of the Almighty. Its English text draws directly from scripture, proclaiming the truth and justice of God's ways in a manner that is both musically engaging and theologically rich.
