NICO MUHLY: Above the Heavens

An anthem celebrating the inauguration of Prof. Martin Burton, Sidney's 28th Master. The work was premiered on Sunday, 8 October 2023 in the chapel of Sidney Sussex College, Cambridge, in the presence of the composer. ABOVE THE HEAVENS O LORD our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth! who hast set thy glory above the heavens. When I look at thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars which thou hast established; what is man that thou art mindful of him, and the son of man that thou dost care for him? Yet thou hast made him little less than God, and dost crown him with glory and honour. O LORD our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth!
