The second movement from Heaven and Earth: A Song of Creation, a unique collaborative work by six different composers active in different repertories of Eastern Orthodox Christian sacred music that brings to life the words of Psalm 103 (LXX) with a musical unity in diversity that reflects the psalmist’s images of the unity in diversity of the divinely created order. The composer, Tikey Zes, is one of the pre-eminent composers in the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of North America; this movement is written in a mix of imitative polyphony and animated homophony that is characteristic of his style.
