Levite Singers Praise as the Glory Fills the Temple
Levite singers in white linen with cymbals, a harp and silver trumpets praise before the temple doors as a bright cloud pours out.
Prompt
2 Chronicles 5: As the priests come out from placing the Ark under the wings of the cherubim, the Levite singers of Asaph and Heman in white linen, with cymbals, psalteries and harps, and priests with silver trumpets lift up one sound to praise the LORD, "For he is good; for his mercy endureth for ever," and the house of the LORD is filled with a cloud of glory so that the priests cannot stand to minister. Asaph and Heman, singers in white linen, are large and central at the east end of the altar, faces lifted in rapturous praise, Heman striking bronze cymbals, two priests beside them sounding long silver trumpets; behind them the open doors of the temple porch between the two bronze pillars pour out a brilliant, luminous white-gold cloud that rolls over everything. Radiant glowing light, awe and overwhelming joy. Style: a blend of photo-realism and cinema, like a still from a big-budget film. Bright, rich, saturated, luminous colour, clear daylight or glowing golden light even in dramatic scenes, never murky or muddy, crisp detail, real human faces full of emotion, shallow depth of field, subtle film grain. Simple, uncluttered composition: ONE clear scene from this chapter, with the chapter's main character or characters large, close and central in the upper and middle frame, and a simple background. No montage, no collage, no inset vignettes, no crowd of small figures competing for attention. Historically accurate ancient Near Eastern clothing, architecture and landscape. Keep the bottom quarter of the frame simple and uncluttered (ground, water or sky) so a large chapter number can be set over it. Absolutely no text, no letters, no words, no numbers, no logos, no watermark, no border, no frame.
