"The story of the Transfiguration of Christ is told in the first three gospels, then echoed and amplified in II Peter, where it is introduced with the words: 'For he received from God the Father honour and glory, when there came such a voice to him from the excellent glory, saying,' etc. When I was asked to make an accompanied version, Peter's words became an introductory organ fanfare, serving like great applause to intensify the scene that follows. The rising interval of a fourth, which passesthrough the assembly at the words 'Take heed,' becomes a descending fifth, as 'Hear ye him' resounds." - David Evans Thomas
