This setting Psalm 93 is cast as a modernist
neo-Baroque style solo aria, modally tinted, with solo instrument
obbligato. It is designed for great effect and maximum
practicality. It may be sung by most any voice part except perhaps
bass or low contralto, and the obbligato, as indicated, may be taken by
any of several instruments. It may also be played on recorder
ad lib. The keyboard may be a piano or a quiet organ.
As can be imagined, any of a range of effects may come to pass in
performance, depending on the chosen combination of vocal and
instrumental colors. In all circumstances, however, the work
should be approached in a generally objective way, without undue
emotional or operatic affect. The music should unfold in a joyous
and inevitable manner, and end on a gently poetic note.
