"God never changeth"
Stephen radically changes harmony

[@A_Muzik]

Beautiful. I just hope I never have to sing the song due to the extremes in the song.

[@AlejandroConsolacionII]

So beautiful. That harmonic shifts and harmonic color truly enhance the deep meaning of the text. I love the music of Stephen Paulus.

[@Jack_Henderson]

This is wonderful! I'm glad to know there is a beautiful melody to go with such a profound prayer.

[@longschlongsilver7628]

I noticed the Dies Irae motif in there.

[@shayakchaudhuri2710]

[@dave7315]

Imagine the Organ with this… especially on those low bass notes.

[@spanqueluv9er]

No, I won’t. It’s better with just voice.

[@VallaMusic]

does everyone like this ? or are all the critical comments perhaps deleted ? at the risk of being deleted, I would tighten the work up - doesn't need to be this long given the text and musical material - also I wonder how many choirs would want to tackle all the random chord shifts ? - it all rings a bit too awkward to my ears - making things sound more chaotic rather than illuminating the message of the text - that being said, if other people love this, fine - I am just tired of how vicious people can be in attacking me because they think that if they love a piece of music that everyone else has to love it or else the person who does not care for it is some kind of moronic demon from hell

[@user-ew2rt1lp9w]

Hi! Thanks for taking the time to listen to the music. Hope you can revisit the song in the future and perhaps enjoy it

[@spanqueluv9er]

@VallaMusic It’s an extremely well thought out piece of music you ignoramus. Sit down, child.🤦‍♂️

@@user-ew2rt1lp9w Holy crud- Are you Stephen’s son??😳🤞

[@user-ew2rt1lp9w]

@@spanqueluv9er Yep, I manage the catalog on nights and weekends outside of my job

[@Stallagmite]

😅 I get what your saying beautiful human. I think a simple clear setting is valid. Perhaps in this piece the composer is trying to use that awkwardness and dissonance, indeed the chaos you are describing to portray the pain and deep struggle that seems interminable. If someone is struggling to believe those words, the simpler setting might be too short, they may need the truth restated in different ways almost as a kind of meditation stated several times so that it sinks into their bones and in they end they might end up believing it to be true.
