Mark Sedio writes a bilingual Spanish and English setting of Psalm 23 with original music in the style of a Spanish folk tune. The lilting melody is tuneful, and the accompaniment adds rhythmic interest. Set in refrain and verse form, the congregation is invited to join on the refrain throughout. Accessible and easily learned, both the choir and congregational will delight in singing this setting.

Scored for augmented jazz ensemble, this adaptation of the famous Scottish tune alternates between traditional 6/8 and swingin' 4/4 meters while the tempo remains constant. Good balance between woodwinds and brasses is essential, and a solo presentation of the refrain melody by trombone is especially nice.
