This Mark Hayes innovation is joyous, happy, and full of pleasant surprises. Festive from the first phrase, "All Creatures of Our God and King" is best suited for fully mature, adult voices.
Selected for the 2014 Labor Day at the Cathedral (for adult singers), this anthem will be sung by 200 adults in the National Cathedral with full orchestra with the composer conducting.
Alleluia!

This is a great arrangement, best suited for adult choirs. It is not an easy piece, but it is well worth the time. Lots of opportunities for meaningful musical moments. The piano part is difficult if you do it at the intended tempo. Most of the piece are homophonic, but there is a polyphonic middle section.
