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." As always, comments are welcomed. Email me at rain@magma.ca, if you'd like more info.

English translation by Ivan Peček: TOMORROW THEY WILL CARRY YOU Tomorrow the six of them will carry you in their hands, The mother will lament, the heart will toll, Oh my father, all your trials and hardships have come to an end, The gravestone will cover your body. You understood the soul of the fig and carob, You built the dams like you built your and our lives, Tomorrow they will carry you away to where no one returns from, On the head of the table there will be one empty chair left. Everything you touched turned into gold, May the earth forever be light upon you, The gravestone has fallen upon you, now it's our turn To spend our lives like a wage that is earned and spent. The body will endure, the stone will persist, And so will you remain in our hearts, though you're gone. CONtact: www.facebook.com/m.marulic.choir m.marulic_choir@yahoo.com  less
