Cox - WAR IN HEAVEN - Laurens Collegium

War in Heaven
Neil Cox (1955)
Watch our livestream on May 4th 2021, 21.00 CEST, with much more choral music, live from Rotterdam: • Verbonden door bommen ... Our concert venue is the beautiful cathedral in the heart of our city. It is the only late Gothic building in Rotterdam that survived the devastating bombings in WW II, though heavily damaged.
Laurens Collegium (part of Laurens Vocaal)

Text:
And there was war in heav’n
Michael and his angels fought against the dragon;
Dragon fought and his angels and prevail’d not.
Neither was their place found anymore in heav’n.
And I heard a loud voice saying in heav’n
Now is come salvation and strength;
And the kingdom of our God, and the power of Christ.
For the accuser of our brethren is cast down
Which accus’d them before God day and night
And they overcame them by the blood of the Lamb
And by the word of their testimony
And they lov’d not their lives, they lov’d not their lives unto Death.
(Rev. 12: 7, 8, 10, 11)

One of the most impressive pieces that blend choir and organ. Excellently performed by an outstanding choir.

Is the score for this available anywhere? I can't seem to find it online, nor can I find a way to contact the composer. Thank you.
