If you are looking for a piece to add to your concert repertoire or library that shows off your choir's ability to musically produce Drama, look no further. This choral composition uses text taken from two Psalms to create a narrative of a people's devotion for their God. The opening A section is largely grounded in diatonic harmony. The soft dynamics and use of extended harmonies and tone clusters give the choir a shimmering ethereal quality as they quietly sing of their reverence of the Lord (Psalm 68). Using much more exaggerated dynamics, more chromaticism, and playing with meter, the B section lets the audience know why the people sing their praise - an embattled people prayed to God for help, and he came to their aid, defeating their enemies in battle (Psalm 18). The form crescendos to a reprise of the A section, but now with loud and joyful exuberance.
