For SATB Choir and Organ. Composed by Jonathan Dove. Edition Peters. Choral Octavo. 32 pages. Edition Peters #98-EP73595. Published by Edition Peters (PE.EP73595). ISBN 9790577021775. English.
Jonathan Dove's Treasures in Heaven is a 6.5 minute work for organ and SATB choir which sets Matthew 6:19–21 from the Bible, a text that exhorts the reader to gather treasures in heaven rather than on earth since where the treasure is, there will also be our hearts. The energetic piece is driven from the organ part with the choir singing in rhythmic but homophonic blocks.
It was commissioned by Lord Crewe's Charity on the occasion of its tercentenary, in memory of the life and charitable foundation of Nathanial, Lord Crewe and premiered by the Choir of Durham Cathedral on 18 September 2021.
This edition (EP 73595) is the choral leaflet, which includes the organ part.
