Adonai ro-i, lo ehsar - (No. 5 from Symphony of Psalms) CME Conductor's Choice

A Hebrew setting of Psalm 23 (The Lord Is My Shepherd), this is the central movement of Imant Raminsh's Symphony of Psalms. For SATB chorus, soprano solo, and piano (optional orchestral parts available from Boosey & Hawkes), the soprano soloist shines, and the choir just soars to a rousing climax and then finishes with a soothing, restful final statement, "and I will dwell in the House of the Lord forever." Duration: ca. 8:15.
