I Will Set His Dominion In The Sea

Horatio W. Parker was a leading American composer of the late Romantic era, known for his large-scale choral works and operas. This anthem, I Will Set His Dominion In The Sea, is a powerful setting of biblical text for SATB choir. The rich harmonies and soaring melodic lines characteristic of Parker's style are evident here, creating an uplifting and majestic sound. The English text, drawn from scripture, speaks of divine power and authority, offering a message of assurance and strength. This piece would be an inspiring addition to a service or concert, allowing the choir to explore expressive vocal colours and dynamic contrasts.
