Like Vaughan Williams in his Job: A Masque forDancing Davies was inspired in part by William Blake's 21 engravings for the Book of Job. His oratorio however is less dependent on finding parallels for Blake's visual details given the direct poetry in David Lemon'sadaptation of the Stephen Mitchell translation from the biblical original it is hardly surprising that the spotlight should be so much on Job's suffering litany. The baritone has the lion's share of the setting though the othersoloists occasionally reinforce his plea and chorale-like episodes universalize his predicament. Davies frames with work with two seminal plainsong-like passages; there is also plenty of dramatic contrast both within Job'smonologues and in the vivid orchestral writing for the smarmy Comforters the initially shrill God who finally appears out of a dazzling orchestral whirlwind and the animal life he uses to illustrate the wonders of creation to ahumbled Job.
