A Festive Psalm

SKU: HP.2411

UPC: 763628124113.

Origi nal Composition This festive, original composition from Hart Morris is a celebrative piece that makes extensive use of mart-lift and mallets throughout. Though the middle section calms somewhat, the tempo does not change as the more mellow sounds of handchimes enter, surrounded by brief mallet and thumb damp passages. This segment ends with a return of the opening theme (in a different key), played in one clef, answered in the other, building to a big finish.

The final section springs forth with a rustic abandon concluding with antiphonal pyrotechnics that takes the anthem to dizzying heights!

Bru ckner described his setting of Psalm 150 of 1892 as my best festive cantata of all. Psalm 150 has a definite festive character, manifested straight away in the monumental Hallelujah theme for the full forces which opens the cantata, and which punctuates the work and concludes it. Bruckner devotes most of his music to the verse Alles was Odem hat, lobe den Herrn - firstly in an exciting section with solo violin and solo soprano, and subsequently in a great fugue on a striking octave theme. All in all, a fascinating combination of filigree motifs, chromatically bold complexities and intensifications, and powerful passages up to triple forte. The chorus is often divided in the homophonic passages, with wide vocal ranges, but the fugue remains in four parts.With a duration of just 9 minutes, this is an ideal companion piece for other shorter works by Bruckner (such as the Te Deum) or, indeed, works by other composers.

Fr. Jim Chepponis was commissioned to write a festive setting of Psalm 19 for the dedication of Christ Cathedral in Orange County, CA, in 2019. The result is what we've come to expect from this veteran composer. The optional instrumentation for flute, oboe, brass quintet, percussion, organ, and strings is perfect for a festive liturgy but can also be pared down for other occasions. The alternate refrains and different sets of verses make it work at multiple liturgies at which Psalm 19 is appointed. Both assembly and choral writing is very singable. The icing on the cake is that it can be done in English, Spanish, or a combination of the two.

English. Text Source: Psalm 121, Book of Common Prayer, 1979. Scripture: Psalm 121.

Richard Proulx’s beautifully crafted setting of Psalm 121 is an ideal choice for festive gatherings or evening liturgies. The familiar first line of the psalm “I lift my eyes up to the hills” is prefaced by an equally evocative passage for solo French horn.
