Dan Forrest's three settings of Hallelujah Psalms (for SATB choir and piano) range from invigorating to deeply touching to dancing for joy! Each movement begins and ends with the statement Hallelu Yah, just as the three Psalms do. Optional percussion (inspired by the text of Psalm 150 and the scriptural account the psalmist Asaph playing the cymbals; 1-2 players) adds an additional layer of sparkling energy. May be performed as a set as individual movements, suitable for worship or concert settings.

The present setting of Psalm 150 from 1884 is one of Cesar Franck's late works. It shows the highly individual elements of the composer's style in concentrated form: a consciously symphonic idiom, bold and unmistakable harmonies, largely characterized by their chromaticism and unusual concepts of form. The popularity of this work has largely been hindered by the need for large instrumental resources for so short a piece. The present arrangement of the Psalm for choir, strings and organ (ad libitum: harp and percussion) is intended as a compromise that retains much of the original sonority, but keeping the work within the scope and possibilities of churches desirous of performing works with instrumental accompaniment within the context of liturgy.

Bruckner described his setting of Psalm 150 of 1892 as my best festive cantata of all. Psalm 150 has a definite festive character, manifested straight away in the monumental Hallelujah theme for the full forces which opens the cantata, and which punctuates the work and concludes it. Bruckner devotes most of his music to the verse Alles was Odem hat, lobe den Herrn - firstly in an exciting section with solo violin and solo soprano, and subsequently in a great fugue on a striking octave theme. All in all, a fascinating combination of filigree motifs, chromatically bold complexities and intensifications, and powerful passages up to triple forte. The chorus is often divided in the homophonic passages, with wide vocal ranges, but the fugue remains in four parts.With a duration of just 9 minutes, this is an ideal companion piece for other shorter works by Bruckner (such as the Te Deum) or, indeed, works by other composers.

Psalm 150 calls out to sing the praise of God on various instruments. Many composers have set this text to music, including Cesar Franck. Nevertheless, Franck, who worked as an organist in Paris for many years and wrote many orchestral works and oratorios, left only a few works on Biblical texts in a large setting. Franck wrote his setting of Psalm 150 in 1883 for the inauguration of the organ in a home for the blind in Paris. The basically simple, homophonic choral writing was conceived with the young students in mind. Franck regularly articulated the texture of the full orchestra with percussion and harp entries evocative of tone-painting. It is a short, effective work that has been making a strong impact at many choral concerts ever since its publication by Breitkopf & Hartel in 1896.

Albrecht Haaf ging bereits mehrfach als Preistrager aus verschiedensten Kompositionswettbewerben hervor. So auch mit seinem geistlichen Chorwerk Herr, Herr, lehre uns! fur gemischten Chor (SSATB), Orgel und zwei Schlagzeuger, fur das er 2012 mit dem Carl von Ossietzky-Kompositionspreis der Universitat Oldenburg ausgezeichnet wurde. Der Untertitel lautet 'Variation uber Psalm 150'. Variation deshalb, weil im Anschluss an den wortlich dem Bibeltext entnommenen Lobpreis Gottes die 'Unloblichkeit des Menschen Werk' in ihrer unterschiedlichsten Auspragung auf musikalisch und textlich drastische Weise angeprangert wird.Haaf, der dieses aufruttelnde Textarrangement selbst verfasste, bedient sich dafur kompositorisch zahlreicher Taktwechsel und Clustertechniken und nutzt meisterhaft das Spiel mit verschiedenen Klangfarben. Dieses Werk stellt nicht nur an den Organisten und die beiden Schlagzeuger, die u.a. vier Rohrenglocken, drei Tomtoms, Pauken und Triangel zu bedienen haben, hohe Anforderungen. Auch die funfstimmige Chorpartie dieses unter die Haut gehenden Stucks ist als 'schwer bis mittelschwer' einzuordnen. Doch der Aufwand lohnt sich versprochen!
