As the title implies, the work expresses the deep religious emotions of the promises made by God to mankind. Two thematic elements are employed:the first, a dramatic proclamation, is introduced by horns and subseque ntly taken by trumpets and woodwinds; the second plaintive theme, in themanner of a supplication, is presented by oboes followed by flutes and clarinets. The first theme returns leading to a climactic section by thefull ensemble. A development section focuses on fragments from the prin cipal theme culminating in a brief brass fanfare based on the earlier accompanying motives. The recapitulation of the principal theme brings thework to a quiet and peaceful close. (8:00)
