In the Beginning is a complex and challenging four-part choral work in cyclic form. It is scriptural in nature, drawing from the very beginning of the Christian "Old Testament" (Genesis) for Part I, then the "New Testament" for the remainder. It begins with "In the beginning God created the heavens..." and concludes with "In the beginning was the Word..."

The work's genesis stems from Part III, which had the original title "Vocalise," and was premiered by Dr. Robert Kuzminski and the California State University, Sacramento a Capella choir. Parts III and IV call for a double choir, SS-AA-TT-BB
