With a variety of musical elements reminiscent of Eastern European and Middle Eastern folk songs, Tompkins aptly utilizes the cultural background of Biblical poetry in this dance-like setting for the emerging treble chorus. Mood shifts in the piano part, chorus, and text make this an excellent piece for experimenting with a variety of timbres, vocal colors, and expression. Highly suitable for year-round programming needs.
Adonai, My Shepherd (Psalm 23) is an English translation* of a song taken from the Tehillim (Psalms), an ancient Hebrew text which is also part of a larger collection of sacred writings, called the Ketuvim. The book of Psalms can also be found in the Bible's Old Testament. Designed to recognize the cultural background of the poetry, the musical elements of this piece are reminiscent of Eastern European and Middle Eastern folk songs. The tambourine has been added as a rhythmic device, appropriate to some types of Middle Eastern folk music, and to suggest a dance-like atmosphere. Mood shifts in the piano, chorus and text make this an excellent piece for experimenting with a variety of timbres, vocal colors and expression. For ensembles looking to incorporate added artistic dimension to performances, choirs are encouraged to make use of the performance space through creative blocking and/or movement appropriate to the style of each section. *English translation is adapted from The Complete Jewish Bible, (tr.
