German, Hebrew, Russian. Scripture: Psalms 115.

Nowakowsky wrote prolifically for texts from Psalms. While many of these were composed for use in worship services, most were intended for the regular concerts which he presented at the Brody Synagogue. These concerts attracted all segments of the community including Russian royalty. In addition to Psalms in Hebrew, Nowakowsky created many in Russian and several in German. This setting for Psalm 115 is of cantata length and style, modulates adventurously into numerous keys, contains sections for eight-part double chorus, and utilizes marvelous musical descriptions of the biblical metaphors.

Reawakened in a new light, the world reignites with energy. After a final mourning of that which was lost and can never be restored, (measures 95--130), the work lives out the essence of ancient royalty with one last celebratory musical statement. (7:00).
