Composed by Kevin Siegfried. 21st Century, Creation/Nature, Evening. Octavo. E.C. Schirmer Publishing #8838. Published by E.C. Schirmer Publishing (EC.8838).UPC: 600313488382. English. Psalms 19:1-4.
This is the first movement (Prologue) of a five-movement work featuring texts by Johannes Kepler, John Donne, and the Psalms. Dedicated to Swiss astrophysicist Arnold Benz, a relative of the composer, the work is based on melodic ideas written to be overlaid with images of various constellations. "The Heavens Declare" is a setting of Psalm 19: 1-4, in which tenor soli and SSAATTBB choir alternately declaim the text in a call-and-response structure.
