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. Score and Parts (fl
