God Is Gone Up
Originally written for SATB chorus, string orchestra and organ, this piece premiered on St. Cecilia's Day (Novemeber 22) in 1951 at St. Sepulchre's Church with organ accompaniment and has entered the choral repertoire in that version. It was published as the second of three pieces from Finzi's Three Anthems for Chorus and Organ, Op. 27. Edward Taylor (1646-1729), an English-American Puritan poet, based his original text on Psalm 24:7, Psalm 47:5-6 and Philippians 2:9.
