This SSATB choral anthem with piano accompaniment is based on Psalm 57 (verses 2,3, 5 & 7). With its classical influence, the virtuosic piano introduction gives way to a chorale-like opening with two homophonic verses which include gospel harmonies. The piece then builds with "My heart is fixed...", a transition beginning in unison and expanding to a climactic German 6th chord in one phrase. Shifting to 12/8, the third section features Dr. Dee's signature "polyphonic vamp" in a majestic cacophony of interweaving phrases closing with three powerful call-and-response "Amens" led by the first sopranos.
The accompaniment may be played as written as performed here by Dr. Shinae Kim with conductor Dr. Jan Taylor (https://www.youtube.com/live/PVNn9JPbvHc?si=GUTBRDATz5StjRgJ&t=5392). Or the pianist may include improvisation in a manner congruent with the idiom as shown here with the composer at the piano leading her Sacred Praise Chorale (https://youtu.be/UW2kUMRZPv4?si=Q1dDD7Edd0wJ-DIn).
