King of glory, King of peace
榮耀之王、和平之王》是亞歷山大-埃斯特朗日(Alexander L'Estrange)根據喬治-赫伯特(George Herbert)的詩歌(為 SATB 和管風琴而作)改編而成的。榮耀與和平並存的二元對立首先體現在輝煌而富有節奏感的管風琴主題上,其次則體現在第 1 和第 3 節結尾處更為平和的和絃序列上。這兩種風格非但沒有相互競爭,反而同等重要"

原文簡介:
Commissioned by King’s School, Bruton, to mark the school’s 500th anniversary, King of glory, King of peace is Alexander L’Estrange’s triumphant setting of the George Herbert poem (for SATB and organ). The dichotomy of reigning both in glory and in peace is first represented by the glorious, rhythmical organ motif and second by the more peaceful chord sequences concluding verses 1 and 3. Far from competing with one another, the two styles reign with equal importance.
