Composed by Shaffer. Concert Band. Extra full score. Composed 1992. Duration 6 minutes, 9 seconds. Opus III Wind Orchestra Publications #012-2449-01. Published by Opus III Wind Orchestra Publications (CL.012-2449-01).

Based on the hymn tune "My Shepherd Shall Supply My Need", this fantasia is a musical reflection of the biblical account of The Creation. A powerful programmatic piece that opens with the woodwind choir and as the piece develops the mood shifts to excitement and a feeling of exhilaration. The tension and musical drama is brought to a conclusion only in the last measure as the climax is suspended for a long electric moment with the decay of a single chime tone. Without a doubt this is David Shaffer’s most aggressive work to date. Highly Recommended.
