Let your moderation be kNown unto all men the Lord is at hand! Be careful for nothing but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving let your requests be kNown unto God And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding shall keep your hearts and minds through Jesus Christ our Lord.

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
