There is definitely not an abundance of John Milton that has captured the attention of composers for the church: “Put on the visible robes of thy imperial majesty, take up that unlimited scepter which thy almighty Father hath bequeathed thee…”!

Well, Robert J. Powell takes this astonishing fragment and turns it into a stirring anthem for brass quartet, timpani, organ and SATB choir. Festive, fanfare-like, and definitely affirming for Christ the King.
