I finished
Psalm 23 Dominus regit me
(The Lord Is My
Shepherd), which inspired
me musically, in 2013.
This prayer of praise,
being a radical act of
trust in God, as Pope
Benedict XVI once said,
complements Credo in unum
Deum. I was particularly
moved by the personal
tone of the Psalm author
and by the landscape of
life symbols that he
painted. The psalmist,
describing ancient
nomads, compares God to a
shepherd taking care of
his flock. It is a
hopeful metaphor of a
journey in the future
with kind and loving God
as a guide - 'Even though
I walk through the valley
of the shadow of death, I
fear no evil, for You are
with me.' By interpreting
the text with music, I
wanted to avoid emotional
directness, and to
present the 'trust' in a
contemplative way, as if
it were a kind of a
prayer - meditation.
-Marcel Chyrzynski,

Rokicka.
