Psalm 139

By Heather Sorenson

Each measure of this inspiring psalm setting is filled with intention and nuance. A new addition to the composer's series featuring anthems inspired by the Psalter, this is a piece of inspired writing. The abundant melodic material closely follows the spiritual context of the message, reaching out with the assurance of God's presence in every aspect of our lives. Many occasions are worthy of this affirmation and the lofty musical elements are concert worthy for choirs of distinction.
