come in unto my soul..."
- Fragments of Psalm 69,
is a sixteen minute work
for mixed chorus, wind
quartet (flute, B-flat
clarinet, horn, and
bassoon), and piano. The
text, consisting of
particular lines from the
King James Version of
Psalm 69, depicts the
varying emotional states
of a devout person in
great distress. The piece
consists of three main
sections: the first evokes
a sense of hallucination
and lack of focus, the
second is more static in
mood and texture, and
the third recapitulates
material from the first
section. The work''s large-
scale structure is
articulated by the use of
certain musical
techniques and/or
musical textures. During
the first section particular
lines have been set in a
freely imitative
counterpoint that borders
on heterophony. In the
second section, chords
are sustained for longer
periods of time and the
male and female voices
are clearly separated.
Musical ideas and
techniques from the first
section reappear in the
third, allowing the
listener to hear the
general formal divisions
in the piece.
