For SATB Voices, divisi, unaccompanied
By Gwyneth Walker
This is a prayerful, homophonic setting of texts from three sources: Psalms 4:8, Psalms 5:8, and John Greenleaf Whittier's "Divine Compassion." The music is approachable and sensitive. Moments of reflection give way to moments of grandness, and finally the piece ends quietly. In today's world, a prayer for us to remain sensitive to suffering is never out of place. Duration: 1:45
