ROXANNA PANUFNIK
Declare the Wonders for Choir and Organ (2007) 1. God said, Let the waters under the heaven Be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so. (Authorised Version) O Lord, how manifold are thy works: In wisdom hast thou made them all; The earth is full of thy riches.
(Book of Common Prayer)
2. And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness. So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. (Authorised Version) So is the great and wide sea also Wherein are things creeping innumerable, both small and great beasts. (Book of Common Prayer) 3. And God saw everything that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. (Authorised Version) O that men would therefore praise the Lord for his goodness and declare the wonders that he doeth for the children of men! (Book of Common Prayer)
Duration c. 5 minutes This anthem was commissioned by the Dean and Chapter of St Edmundsbury Cathedral to commemorate the 400th anniversary of the foundation of Jamestown, Virginia, by Bartholomew Gosnold of Suffolk and his companions and is sponsored in the memory of Elizabeth Conran, 1926-2006 (to whom the piece is dedicated). The words are an amalgamation of relevant texts, very kindly selected for me by the Cathedral’s Precentor, the Reverend Canon Michael Hampel. They are a combination of verses from the Book of Genesis (Authorised Version) and from Psalms 104 and 107 (Book of Common Prayer). My thanks go to him, to James Thomas (the Cathedral’s Director of Music) for his guidance through the creative process and to the sponsor of the commission.
Roxanna Panufnik 27th February, 2007 (Sources: Biblical passages are Authorised Version (King James - 1611) and the pieces of psalmody are Book of Common Prayer (Miles Coverdale's translation of 1525). BCP is technically 1662 but with the 1525 psalter at the back.)
