Genesis 1: 2 By the seventh day God had finished the work he had been doing;
so on the seventh day he rested from all his work.
3 Then God blessed the seventh day and made it holy,
because on it he rested from all the work of creating that he had done.
4 This is the account of the heavens and the earth when they were created,
when the LORD God made the earth and the heavens.
5 Now no shrub had yet appeared on the earth and no plant had yet sprung up,
for the LORD God had not sent rain on the earth and there was no one to work the ground,
6 but streams came up from the earth and watered the whole surface of the ground.
When musical motives move and change throughout the composition without need or desire for repetition, this is called Through-composed. 11th and 12th grade bring us on a musical journey through the last day of creation and God’s rest on the Seventh Day. A gradually busy and groovy percussion takes shape over a glockenspiel repeated ostinato representing the land animals moving in their kinds all over the earth. The cymbal swell represents the voice of God speaking man into being. Adam and Eve then have a theme on the synth and glockenspiels; Adam and Eve sing a praise song of life and their Creator. Another cymbal swell gives way to a repeated Plagal Cadence, or “Amen” cadence in the synth and bass, as angelic voices and all of creation sing praise to God - Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
