Level 2+ : The text of the twenty-third Psalm is directly reflected in this lyrical and peaceful original composition. These words are also printed over the score, so ringers and directors will be able to relate the music to the text, thus enhancing interpretation. The music begins calmly and gently, gradually building as the Psalm passage nears its conclusion, and it ends simply and restfully. Appropriate anytime Psalm 23 is used in worship or other special services, the piece will also be a dramatic and poignant addition to any concert or festival program.
