Composed by: Jonny Priano
Ensemble: Choir
Voicing: SATB, a cappella
Dramatic divisi choral writing treats Psalm 46 with significance and reverence. A contrasting middle section creates a sense of darkness before unfolding with hopefulness and returning to a gloriously developed A section. Expressive changes of tempo and dynamics provide an invitation for artistic communication between choir, director, and audience. Equally effective in performance or worship.
