The chant-like treatment of the Psalm verses, in addition to creating a simply lovely setting, can also be a great exercise in sensitively conveying the meaning of the words through proper textual stress—a skill that can be applied to less lyrical pieces in the choral repertoire. The voice parts are minimal in scope (each roughly an octave), but the fluctuating accidentals will require some attention for tuning.

Joyful syncopations propel us forward in this educational concert or contest selection. Contemporary yet logical sonorities come to life for developing choirs building their skills within limited vocal ranges. Notice how the marcato beginning and end contrast with a B section that is a touch more legato. Though sung entirely in Latin, there are only two sentences of text and a pronunciation guide is included. Perfectly crafted for intermediate groups, with the precisely vocal ranges you're seeking!

UPC: 785147939207. English. Text Source: Based on Psalm 23. Text by John Quincy Adams. Scripture: Psalm 23.

Although best known as the sixth President of the United States, John Quincy Adams’ great desire was to write poetry, upon hearing his words set to music by one of his contemporaries, he exclaimed his delight “as the organ pealed and the choir of voices sung the praise of Almighty God from the soul of David, adapted to my native tongue by me.” This setting was written for SAB choir, however, it could be sung by an SSA ensemble as well. The tune is original, but Meyer has written in the style of the music that Adams might have heard in his day.
