Stahl, Christina
M.
Psalm 137 Super
flumina Babylonis also
known as By the rivers of
Babylon was an
inspiration for many
composers including
Camille Saint-Saëns.
He repeatedly occupied
himself with his psalm
motet for solo soprano,
mixed choir, saxophone
quartet, string orchestra
and organ, originally
composed in 1854. Two of
the four versions â??
the first version in
Latin and a much later
version in English for
alto solo, SATB choir and
piano â?? are now
available for the first
time in Urtext performing
editions taking a
meticulous account of all
the
sources.
Saint-SaÃ
ƒÂ«ns lived up to his
reputation as an
innovative composer by
exploring the use of the
saxophone family in
sacred music just a few
years after the invention
of these instruments. The
successful combination of
voice and saxophone
creates a special sound
experience.
