The oratorio was first performed in Manchester CatheDral in 1994. This psalm forms the climax of the whole cantata and provides an expression of optimism after the tragedies of the previous sections. In this “extracted” version, the tragic surroundings of the history remain in the background and the purebubbling joy of the psalm itself shines forth. Enjoy the complex rhythms and let your hair down! This performance by Daniel Shaw's Composer's Choir (based in Connecticut) is a brilliant rendition of the piece and will, I hope, encourage other church choirs and concert choirs to consider including it in their repertoire.  less

Recorded on 10. 04. 2011. in the BTM Castle Museum, Budapest. The melody is a version of the third tune from the Nine Tunes for Archbishop Parker's Psalter "Why Fum'th In Fight" (Psalm 2) and also known as "third mode melody". The text is from John Mason (1645--1694) a parish priest of St. Giles.
