Voices of Connection: 09/25 Bloch Sacred Service Pt. IV
We come back to earth: the Law is returned to the Ark. It is hidden now, but it must become a part of our life, to remain alive in the heart of men.
The Cantor calls to the people, and the crowd, expressing its joy, intones "Earth sees His Glory". Then the Cantor, alternation with the chorus, proclaims the wisdom and perfections of the Law, and reminds the people not to forsake it.
A song of peace, 'tree of Life’, ends the fourth part.
– Ernest Bloch
