A universal praise anthem for most denominations and for all times of the year.
To be performed by a full orchestra and two choirs. The larger, the better.

In section A almost a marching rhythm is started by the contrabasses and cellos with an underlying drone sound from the synthesizer.
In section B one alto flute begins with the "verse".
In section C the altos of the SAB choir sing the "verse".
In section D the bass pattern changes slightly and the sopranos and altos sing together with an echo by the tenors+basses, then the SAB choir sings in unison.
4 Bars before section E the bass pattern changes completely, the SATB choir and more instruments join in and in section E the SAB choir sings the "chorus" of the piece.
In section F more instruments join in and finish in a magnificant chord that plays 4 bars and reverb afterwards in another 4 bars rest.
In section G the bass line returns to the first theme and the "verse" is sung again by the SAB choir with the alto flutes playing a counter melody.

Instruments required:
Alto flutes, Oboes, Clarinets in Bb, Bassoons, Horns in F, Trumpets in Bb, Trombones, Tuba, Timpani, Chinese Gong, Synthesizer (Warm Pad and Vangelis Sweep), SAB choir, SATB choir, Violins I+II (in 3 groups), Violas, Cellos, Contrabasses
