David von Kampen masterfully crafts the text of Revelation 21:4 - 5 into an inspiring and striking piece for SATB and piano. A variety of compositional techniques—including declamatory writing, polytextuality, and a skillful use of key—connect the biblical text and song powerfully. Smaller choirs can easily adapt this piece for two-part voicing by singing just soprano and tenor in the middle section. Use this piece for Easter Vigil, during the rest of the Easter Season, on All Saints' Day, and for funerals.
Revelation 21:4 - 5 (ESV)
He will wipe away ev'ry tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning nor crying nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away.
And He who was seated on the throne said, 'Behold, I am making all things new.'
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia.
