A triptych is a three-part altarpiece. In the middle of these fantasies for viola stands a biblical psalm, on the sides each a poem from the 20th century, which refers to psalms. After Georg Trakl's De Profundis, the first fantasy captures the lonely landscape at the beginning of the poem and the yearning voice of the orphan girl. In the second fantasy (after the 23rd Psalm Davids) pastoral-comforting mood frames the heaviness of the Wandering in the dark valley. The third fantasy of Paul Celan's Psalm lets the music emerge from the void, unfolding a melody with discreet allusions to psalmodody and Jewish music, which, despite shadowy clouding, ultimately allows for flowering (above the thorn).

Bruckner's setting of the 23rd Psalm (22 in the Vulgate count) is still quite unknown. Bruckner uses the German text version by Joseph Franz Allioli instead of the well-known Luther version. Accompanied by the piano, the piece for choir and solo (choir solos possible) begins with a pastoral section in 12/8, changes into a fugue, and ends with an a cappella chorale.

From the creative hand of Marty Haugen comes a splendid collection of music for the seasons of Lent, Easter, and Pentecost, along with a new setting of the litanies and acclamations for Eucharist entitled, Mass of Remembrance. You'll find Song over the Waters, a gathering hymn which incorporates the Rite of Sprinkling, Shepherd Me, O God, an inclusive language version of the beloved 23rd Psalm and a beautiful rendition of the Eucharistic Prayer for Masses of Reconciliation II, to name just a few. This original setting of the Mass of Remembrance—compos ed prior to the Revised Order of Mass in 2010—is suitable for use with any choir, large or small, traditional or contemporary, and may be performed by just a few voices and instruments or a full complement of mixed voices, brass and percussion. In addition to the recorded version of the Eucharistic Prayer, the full score includes a simplified version of the same prayer.  .
