Matthew Martin: I Saw the Lord.: SATB: Vocal Score

The Festival Anthem I saw the Lord (2012) is a setting of words from Isaiah Ch 6 some of which are perhaps better known in the context of the great Victorian anthem by John Stainer. This Trinitarian/Dedication text (starting with the words in the year that King Uzziah died ) is both powerful and full of dramatic imagery - flying seraphim live coals cries of the Tersanctus - as well as containing darker and more reflective passages.
