Pageant Music

As we all adjust to a new normal of social distancing and stay-at-home orders, this Psalm, which has long been a favorite, became one of several quarantine composition projects. I heard and saw on Facebook a good friend Rob Bigley and his wife Kendra singing Ned Rorem songs in their living room, and was inspired; messaged him and said, I have something cooking that I would like to send you. In that week I composed a setting of Psalm 91 for voice and piano (it could also serve as a congregational song, though probably would work better for soloist or choir). God will save you from the deadly pestilence, and you will not fear the plague that stalks at noonday. Looking forward to hearing Rob and Kendra perform this sometime – maybe even in person!
