Uses: General Scripture: Psalm 19:1-4 Luke 19:40 There is nothing more pleasing than the pure sounds of four-part a cappella singing. This hymn-like anthem is a study in part-writing maximizing the sumptuousness of the sonic stack and giving each vocal part its special place in the choir. As it develops you will find an unfolding of message and music that is so natural and genuine. The words celebrate the gift of praise and invite everything that has breath to worship the King of creation.

A Psalm of Creation-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.
