Lofty musical aspirations are met and surpassed in this Psalm setting, which is the next installment in the composer's exploration of the Psalter. Modern melody meets classic text to celebrate the creative power of God in a sacred tone poem filled with fascinating sonic moments. Lush and expressive, the opening is a soundtrack of praise. Later the piece recounts the days of creation and the unfolding of the universe while counterpointing with the Latin phrase, Cantate Dominum. This is a stunning choral moment that builds intensity to a rhapsodic melody soaring to dizzying heights. This significant anthem ends quiescently with a final affirming Amen.

Crisp and cool as a peppermint stick, this re-imagined carol is refreshing in every way. From the light swing rhythms of the familiar melody to a jazz fantasia of Fa la la's in counterpoint, it's just the right blend of familiar, fun, and festive! A rhythm section SoundTrax is available.

Stop and take notice of this novel arrangement of “Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing.” It isn't like any you have heard before. Glenn Picket's accompaniment grabs your attention first, but the vocal lines follow suit quickly. His playful reharmonization should satisfy but then he launches into a quasi-counterpoint that is simply heavenly. The rhythmic return brings us home with joy in our hearts.
