About the arrangement... This arrangement of "Awesome God" seeks to show God's mystery as well as His vastness. At the beginning the sopranos should adopt a "boy's choir" sound (vowels far back up in the roof of the mouth airy sound with no vibrato) then add vibrato when the remaining parts join in adding warmth to the sound at the divisi at measure 20. All should repeat this interpretation at the subito p at measure 61 after the verse. Vocal dynamics are key to communicating both His supernatural other worldly aura and conversely His awesome majesty. The accompanist should play very phrased and glass-like in the quiet sections and forcefully in the broader passages. About the arranger...
