Revelation Song
Words and Music by Jennie Lee Riddle
© 2004 Gateway Create Publishing
Arrangement by David Wesley
Cello Loops performed by @Elijah de la Motte
** Now available on iTunes, Spotify and other major music services! **
Revelation Song offers a glimpse into the throne room of heaven and the ceaseless worship of the angels and saints. The song has such a deceptively simple structure - just the same 4 chords repeating over and over. But within that structure is so much room for experimentation, wonder and surprise. I can't think of a better way to worship the God who is the same yesterday, today, and forever but whose mercies are new every morning!
Virtual Choir #12 is a joint effort of 120 singers and ASL signers from 29 countries. In there you'll find kindergartners, great-grandparents, and everything in between! I'm so grateful for the chance to work with such a fantastic (and diverse) musical community over the last 5 years. Thanks to the newcomers and veterans alike!
Joining us on cello is 16-year-old Elijah de la Motte. Elijah is a pre-college student at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music and appeared on America's Got Talent. He's #3 in a musical family of 10 kids (and very busy mom and dad). I wrote 24 loops of 4 bars each for Elijah to record, with nothing but a metronome as a guide. I was able to mix and match these 24 loops to create the highs and lows that give the performance its shape (and breaks through all the repetition). I hope you were as blown away by Elijah's passionate performance as I was!

David, This is an inspired arrangement which has brought the song to life :) This is not an easy song to arrange as the repetitive chord structure can result in a very monotonous 5 minutes, yet you have managed to create musical interest, build up a climax and hold the audience's attention to the end. Appreciate your efforts and that of the choir, ASL signers and Elijah. May this song inspire the worship of people from every nation, tongue and tribe! :)

"This choir, robed in white, is just a foretaste of what it will be like to sing with brothers and sisters from every tribe, tongue, and nation as we worship the lamb who was slain" AMEN, I think of your words when I listen to these songs. Can't tell you enough how much I appreciate what you do. Our lives down here help prepare us for eternity up there, praising our Lord and Savior. What amazing music you and others are able to produce, I can't imagine what new songs we will learn when we reach our heavenly home with our new, perfect bodies all able to sing as beautifully as you and your choir. Thank you, David.

After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands; And cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb. And all the angels stood round about the throne, and about the elders and the four beasts, and fell before the throne on their faces, and worshipped God, Saying, Amen: Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honour, and power, and might, be unto our God for ever and ever. Amen. - Rev 7:9-12

You were told: Woe unto you that desire the day of the Lord! to what end is it for you? the day of the Lord is darkness, and not light. 19 As if a man did flee from a lion, and a bear met him; or went into the house, and leaned his hand on the wall, and a serpent bit him. 20 Shall not the day of the Lord be darkness, and not light? even very dark, and no brightness in it? 21 I hate, I despise your feast days, and I will not smell in your solemn assemblies. 22 Though ye offer me burnt offerings and your meat offerings, I will not accept them: neither will I regard the peace offerings of your fat beasts. 23 Take thou away from me the noise of thy songs; for I will not hear the melody of thy viols. 24 But let judgment run down as waters, and righteousness as a mighty stream.

This is a masterpiece. Including Pablo Casals, I have never heard cello this beautiful. The composition is a masterpiece--the Lamb is worthy of this. This is most remarkable quality of choir I've heard on any of David's efforts. I had no idea he was a composer with this degree of talent. But it's not showy, it's sincere. Tears in my eyes and hand lifted to heaven. May God continue to bless you as you serve him in this way. I'm running out of adjective to try to communicate how good this particular production is. Wish radio stations would pick this up--many would be blessed. All glory to the Father, who created us to be able to sing, play, and compose, and invent technology to do things like virtual choirs. Also, shout-out to whoever did the editing of the video. Wow. To Him who sits on the throne, and unto the Lamb, be glory, and honor, and power, and praise and thannksgving--for ever. Amen

I’ve sung in one of your projects (would’ve done more, but somehow there are often scheduling conflicts 😏) and have followed all the rest, but THIS is my favorite, so far. I’ve always loved the song, but your arrangement is quite stellar. That, coupled with Elijah’s amazing virtuosity (I’m a former cellist myself), makes this piece “soar to the heavens!” Thank you for this Easter gift, David!
