"Revelation" is a dramatic work for treble chorus, based on a text from Revelation, the last book of the Christian Bible. This book is one of the most controversial and difficult descriptions of apocalyptic events, with many diverse interpretations of the events described in the account. The severity and cataclysmic nature of the events is staggering. This work isolates one "apocalyptic sequence"- the sounding of seven trumpets, each on heralding a more horrific event than the trumpet before it.

This setting of Psalm 121, "I Will Lift Up My Eyes,"explores the capabilities of sonority and expressiveness in the treble choral medium. As such, the work is melodically driven with lyrical lines which quickly careen from the lower range into the upper, frequently spinning into moments of full sonority, and then moving into momentary repose. The final cadence capstones the work with an affirmation of serenity and quiet confidence.
