In the performance note, the composer cites this setting’s polyphonic movement and optimistic take on the text. The rich, brooding setting of the entire psalm in Latin is far from dramatic or chest-beating, yet it hardly seems sunny. Further, the music is quite homophonic throughout despite a propensity to begin phrases in staggered (but rarely imitative) entrances. The piece is full of starts and stops, suggesting the despair of the psalmist. The music is beautiful and challenging, both for its six independent parts and the extended tonal language.
