Psalm 45

Another addition to a series of publications dedicated to the Psalms, this lofty anthem is replete with sensational melodic material and sweeping crescendos. Using music as a spiritual and poetic focus, the song delivers a portrait of the divine with regal results. The piano is substantial and captures the orchestration with colorful figurations and engaging patterns. A soaring final stanza passionately expresses the epic truth of God’s love with joyful abandon. The anthem ends quietly with the thought, “Christ is the theme that stirs my heart to sing.”
