Hancock by Daniel Belknap — Lyrics
Hark from the skies! A dreadful sound,
See how the clouds spread o'er the skies,
The thunders roar and shake the ground,
And fill all creatures with surprise.

About Hancock
Daniel Belknap's Hancock paints a dramatic picture of divine power unleashed. The text describes a fearsome storm, with thundering skies and flashing lightning, all presented as manifestations of God's might. The SATB voicing allows for a full, resonant expression of this awe-inspiring scene. Belknap's setting captures the intensity and surprise evoked by the text, making it a powerful choice for choirs looking to convey a sense of the sublime and the awesome force of nature as directed by the divine. This sacred anthem offers a compelling musical interpretation of a biblical portrayal of God's control over the elements.
