David Sanders has a way with seasonal melodies and psalm refrains. When you sing the Lectionary refrain of this Epiphany psalm set to the tune STAR IN THE EAST (“Brightest and Best”), the match seems just right for the feast. The choir is afforded a fine SATB setting for the refrain, and a soaring C instrument line adds a bright and lively voice.
The chant tone moves step-wise in an easy range and uses melodic fragments of the hymn tune, with some well-conceived harmonic variations in the keyboard. The chanted verse ends with a clear, rhythmic return to the refrain. This responsorial psalm is worth adding to your Christmas season repertoire and singing each year.
