Ausgesprochen stimmungsvoll setzt der neuseeländische Komponist die Klangkörper Chor, einzelne Stimmgruppen, Orgel und Trompete ad lib. miteinander in Beziehung. Ein bewegendes Konzertstück, welches das Publikum unmittelbar in seinen Bann zieht. Broad melodic arches and an enchanting sensuousness of sound characterize Chris Artley's setting of Psalm 121. He sets the choir, the individual groups of voices as well as organ and trumpet ad lib in relationship to each other in an impressively atmospheric manner. It is a moving concert piece that Will immediately fascinate the audience.  less

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.

It was one of his most popular madrigals, as well as one of the most internationally famous songs of the period. It is apparently based on John Dowland’s “Flow, my Teares”. Like Dowland’s lyrics, these lyrics express an intense melancholy of someone whose happiness has been abruptly shattered and desires to not be saved from this dark despair. The speaker wishes his death by drowning in his despair, in his tears. The expression of melancholy, and notions of darkness, neglect, Time’s cruelty, spiteful age, were themes used by Elizabethan songwriters to prefigure the stark inevitability of death, and it remained a proMinent feature of English literature and music in the time of Elizabeth I and Shakespeare.
