The Hymn to God was commissioned by the Transtibiscan Reformed Church District to commemorate the 500th anniversary of the beginning of Reformation. However this festive piece does not speak of the last 500 years of the Reformation but of the historical moment when the expectations and hopes of the congregation established new ways of communication with God in their own language. The piece adapts several old Calvinist songs and biblical texts, rarely sung psalms and popular religious songs.
