Psalm 110: Syllables 146 Longest recitation 7 Tenor f# 21.92% |
This psalm, one of two oracles in the psalter, is so special it is followed by two acrostics. There are no performances of the raw data that I am aware of. The psalm has great lines that lend themselves to chorale treatment. The willingness of the people is ornamented by a tsinnor in verse 3. Qadma appear in verses 1 and 4 both ornamenting the divine name.
The music of some of the verses of Psalm 110 anchors the first part of my oratorio Unleashing Leviathan. Lots more could be done with it.
