Judd: Jehova-Nissi

The Hebrew term Jehovah Nissi, the Lord is my banner, was first used by Moses in Exodus 17 after the Israelites defeated the Amalekites.  This aptly describes the theme of this music. The piece quotes several connected themes, including ‘Stand like the brave’, ‘Stand up and bless the Lord’, ‘Dare to be a Daniel’ and ‘Who is on the Lord’s side?’.  The work is strong and joyful in nature.
