for SATB, piano, and organ Set to a poem by the American hymnist Thomas Troeger, Rudolph's music brilliantly brings the poet's words, inspired by the prophet Isaiah's vision of peace and harmony among God's creatures, to life. With deft use of voices, percussion, brass and organ, Rudolph develops a simple strophic scheme (with an appealing refrain) through a single long crescendo, progressively bringing out the poem's underlying gravity.
