SKU: HL.275020
UPC: 888680742126. 6.75x10.5 inches. Joseph Martin/Heather Sorenson.
The text from Psalm 42, ?As the Deer pants for water,? is often set to music that is joyful. This setting is contemplative, leaning more on the ?longing? aspects of the text. ?Haunting? is the expressive mark that begins the piece and it remains in that space except for a lovely and assuring reprise. It returns to the contemplative place as the piece ends. The optional flute and violin add a wonderful color to the piece.

A new edition of this early Martin hymn resetting! In this version, the key has been lowered and the rhythms adjusted to reflect a more traditional approach to the text, refining the anthem for reverence and worship. The contours of the melody convey longing and repentance while the B section weaves gentle counterpoint into a sonic tapestry of beauty. An approachable yet effective option for Holy Week or services of contemplation. Superb! Score and Parts (fl, ob, cl, bn, perc 1-2, pno, vn 1-2, va, vc, db) available as a digital download.
