A new setting – straightforward, text-driven, no extremes of range – no divisi, but has drone sections where staggered breathing would normally be used.
Erratum: Bar 9 should read "et spes" – it's been corrected in the score.

Two points of note:
First, the composition grew out of the feeling that all 4 voices should start on the same note, grow outwards and then come back to that same note at the end. The rest just seemed to evolve on its own, seemingly guided by some external force.
Second, unusually, I have asked choirs (where possible) to sing this without any breaks, via staggered breathing, as I wanted to highlight the deep conviction underlying the words of the Psalm, as one single thread of deep belief that moves from beginning to end.
Sincere thanks to Matthew Curtis (choraltracks.com) for recording "Psalm 23."

It is a complex layered poem exploring a multitude of interactions with the morning star - in naturalistic, religious, spiritual and seemingly political terms.
Sincere thanks to Matthew Curtis (choraltracks.com) for recording "Stella."
