"Both the instrumentation of the piece (which was borrowed from the wonderful concerto of Johann Ernst Altenburg 1734-1801) and the name of the church suggested an apocalyptic subject matter, so the title of the work is followed by a biblical quotation: '...and I saw the seven angels who stand before God, and to them were given seven trumpets.' (Revelation 8:1)." - David Lancaster
