For Sprano Solo, SATB (divisi) Voices, unaccompanied
By Kevin Upperuce
These settings present disparate manners in which to utter these two terse, yet potent psalm texts: from the sorrowful to the exuberant, the primitive to the elegant. The music reflects these wide-ranging interpretations with interchanges of contrapuntal and homophonic textures, ostinato and scalar passages, a broad harmonic palette, and the utilization of the full tessitura of the chorus.
