music composed and performed by David W Solomons [aka the dwsChorale].
This particular setting was composed with a small mixed-ability choir
in mind, so the voices are mainly in two parts (men's and women's voices),
splitting to four parts (SATB) occasionally, where the words suggest it.
The musical style is reminiscent of the 19th century although the piano
part does go into 20th century style syncopation at Times.

Dorian mode setting of Psalm 23 by David W Solomons

The Lord is my shepherd I shall lack nothing
He makes me lie down in green pastures
He leads me along the still waters.
He restores my soul and makes me walk
within the paths of righteousness
for His name's sake
Yea, though I walk in death's dark vale yet I will fear no evil
for you are with me your rod and your staff comfort me still
you have furnished my table in the presence of my foes
my head you anoint with oil and my cup overflows
Goodness and mercy all my life shall surely follow me
and my dwelling place shall be in God's house evermore. less

poem translated into English by S N Solomons,
music composed and performed (multitrack) by D W Solomons (dwsChorale)
The sky is dark, the earth is white,
oh bells ring out with joy
Jesus is born, the Virgin quiet
shelters her baby boy.
Noel Noel Noel
bells ring out with joy!
No wraps No festooned curtains
spread to shield the child from frost
nothing but flimsy spider webs
trail from the beams aloft.
He shivers in that cold stable
this Jesus child so dear,
and so to warm him in the cradle,
the ass and ox draw near.
The snow hangs down in lacy fringe.
But far above the heavens swell
reveal the angel choir that sings to men
Noel Noel
