The Lord is My Shepherd

This new setting of Psalm 23 opens in a pastorale style, with long, flowing phrases that discreetly support the text. The phrases are of different lengths and different harmonies based on the meaning of the text, while the opening melody is developed throughout. The organ part is a model of quiet support, while the vocal ranges are very comfortable. This piece will be a superb addition to the many settings of this well-loved text.
