When the land is rolled up,
And the seas are poured out,
And every thing is put away,

About In the last days
Maggie Furtak’s setting of In the last days opens with a sense of stillness and anticipation, the voices weaving a gentle texture that evokes the cosmic imagery of the text. The music builds subtly, reflecting the profound, yet personal, contemplation of the end of time. The SATB voicing allows for rich harmonic colours as the composer imagines the final moments of the universe. The text, a poetic reflection on universal dissolution and intimate connection, finds a poignant expression in Furtak’s sensitive musical setting. This motet-like piece offers a moment of quiet reflection, drawing the listener into its contemplative atmosphere.
