Every
purpose under the heaven,
arranged for an
accompanied mixed voices
choir with soprano and
tenor solos, is a musical
tribute to one of the
most important cultural
landmarks of Western
civilization - the 1611
King James Bible. Written
in celebration of the
Bible's 400-year
anniversary, Goodall has
brought together ten of
the most expressive
passages, from Genesis to
Revelation, to create an
oratorio that is at once
steeped in historic
grandeur and utterly
relevant in today's
society. Musically, it
displays all the
hallmarks of Goodall's
well-loved style -
soaring melodies,
rhythmic vitality and
perfectly crafted lines.
However, this work offers
singers and audiences
something more: an
opportunity to introduce
new generations to the
expressive power and
ancient truths of this
historic
text.
Commissioned
as a gift to the United
Learning Trust, Every
purpose under the heaven
is suitable for young
singers, choral societies
and church choirs of all
abilities. It may be
accompanied by piano,
using the reduction
provided, or chamber
orchestra.
