Voicing/instrumentation: SSAATTBB + piano
Composer: Sam Kauffman
Lyricist/text source: Psalm 12

For this dramatic psalm, I have composed dramatic music. In this piece, the pianist is less of an accompanist and more of a featured soloist. The bombastic piano part leads the choir through a whirlwind of intensity as the psalm begins with a cry of despair for the human race and then moves to a prayer for God’s protection and a message of assurance.

I am not releasing this for sale until it has had its premiere. If you are interested in premiering it, contact me.

Coming soon in a version for choir and orchestra!
