Musical Composition of a Fantastical Vision
•
SMC preachers
As I've lived with Isaiah's bizarre, fantastical, and awe-some / terrifying vision, I began to experience it as a musical composition:
- Introduction - In the year that King Uzziah died...
- Movement 1 - The Skirts of God
- Movement 2 - Frankenstein
- Movement 3 - Hineni
- Coda - Prayer of the Seraphim: Holy, holy, holy
Once through, I played with a musical variation of the whole composition for our congregation . I'm eyes wide open on how cryptic this description is. Trust me: it's fitting. I invite you into the mystery... [sermon begins at 14:14]
