I Love the tempo, phrasing, rubato and expressiveness. The paraphrase of Psalm 121 is mine. I wrote this as My way of dealing with the loss of two choir members who both suddenly died the first year I was in Montana. It was My way of turning to the psalms for prayer. The recent pictures were taken in Shenandoah National Park in Virginia.
