I Saw the Lord In the year that King Uzziah died

Composer: Martin, Matthew
Instrument: Mixed Voices, Organ
Publisher: Faber Music
Description:
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.
