The Twenty-third Psalm forms the springboard for this powerful sacred ballad affirming the leadership of Christ the Shepherd and King. A sumptuous melody, moving with elegant slowness, allows the message to breathe and thrive in the heart. The anthem establishes a wonderful dialogue between soloist and choir, a dynamic that lifts the piece to dizzying heights. Marvelous!
