Scripture: Psalm 19,
Psalm 110, Psalm 121,
Psalm 126, Psalm
131.
The first
piece, Call to Worship
and Dance, is inspired by
Psalm 19, “He has
pitched a tent for the
sun, which comes forth
like the groom from his
bridal chamber.â€
This piece begins with
evocative figures before
moving to a syncopated
dance. In the second
piece, Kate takes her
inspiration from Psalm
110. Psalm 121, “I
will lift up my
eyes†consists of
long, arching
phrases.  Psalm
126, “Our mouths
were filled with
laughter†is
another dance. Kate
depicts the laughter with
a highly chromatic melody
and harmonic shifts. The
concluding psalm is Psalm
131, “I have
stilled my soul, like a
weaned child on its
mother’s lap, so
is my soul within
me.â€Â .
