Psalm 137 Super flumina Babylonis also known as By the rivers of Babylon was an inspiration for many composers including Camille Saint-Saëns. He repeatedly occupied himself with his psalm motet for solo soprano, mixed choir, saxophone quartet, string orchestra and organ, originally composed in 1854. Two of the four versions ?? the first version in Latin and a much later version in English for alto solo, SATB choir and piano ?? are now available for the first time in Urtext performing editions taking a meticulous account of all the sources.

Kurt Thomas's setting of Psalm 137 ,,An den Wassern zu Babel (,,By the waters of Babylon) is one of his earlier compositions and the second that he published at Breitkopf & Hartel in 1928, after the Mass in A op. 1. The motet for double choir with a performing time of about six minutes portrays the psalm text vividly. Long flowing lines in the beginning point to the rivers of Babylon, leading on to the lament of the Israelites and finally to a fantasy of revenge before coming back to the flowing lines in the end. Although the motet includes many of the features of his later choral works, it is among the more easily accessible works of Kurt Thomas and can therefore also be performed by good amateur choirs.

The successful combination of voice and saxophone creates a special sound experience.

Voice and/or Instruments Facsimile Score As early as 1932, Harry Partch composed Psalm 23 for Voice and Adapted Viola. Together with Psalm 137 By the Rivers of Babylon the Two Psalms arose. Both settings were performed with other early compositions several times with great success, although Partch was only at the beginning of his career. Almost ten years later he re-set the Adapted Viola part for his newly developed Chromelodeon and added a part for the Kithara.
