Great And Marvellous Are Thy Works by A. R. Gaul for SATB choir with Piano accompaniment.From 'The Holy City' composed 1882.

Mark Hayes does it again in his stellar adaptation of a true sacred evergreen. Mark's colorful orchestrations are highly imaginative and there is liberal use of solo voice making this piece not only a great choral moment but ashowcase for solo voice as well. The Holy City is destined to become an instant classic!
