Other info: This is a revised version of a piece originally called Blessed Art Thou which was written for Nigel Short and Tenebrae in 2014 with words by Ben Dunwell.

Will Todd writes:

"I have used the same shape to create a new secular text based on the sentiment of the Magnificat, exhorting the listener to live life in harmony with nature and to fight for the future of our relationship with the planet."

My heart sings to the Earth, the power of this place!
My soul dances aloud the power of this place;
Dances in this miracle place!
For Earth sustains such abundance of living;
Even the smallest things of the earth.
I will always be made wonderful by this gift;
This earth, fountain of life.
My heart sings this fountain of life.
And she will hold me if I can be in balance and harmony.
She can rain storms of raging darkness;
And shake us away with destruction.
She tears down our towers in a moment;
And our indifference will leave us hopeless and lost.
But we may make inspirational change;
Changes are coming and we are the voices
My heart sings to the Earth the power of this place;
Dances in this miracle place!
And through the gift of our children,
Conditional on our love, our care of Earth, our home, we rise anew.
For this miracle of Earth: Sing aloud.

Earthificat is featured on the new album All Will Be Well with Will Todd and award winning choir Voices of Hope
