Give Judgment for Me, O Lord

- Colin Brumby

 

Use: General
Required Resources: SATB choir, organ
Language: English

Here we have a "big" anthem in glorious English cathedral style (think "With A Voice of Singing" by Martin Shaw). Australian composer Colin Brumby has given us a very useful setting of Psalm 26 that a good parish choir can easily handle.

This piece has optional solos for bass and tenor, and a soprano/alto duet dividing sections of generally homophonic choral texture. A small fughetta on the text, "My foot stands on an even path," leads to the chords which end the work on a refreshing and surprising A Major cadence in an otherwise C Major key.

Text from Psalm 26 includes:

SATB: Give judgment for me, O Lord, for I have walked in my integrity:
I have trusted in the Lord and not wavered.

bass solo: Put me to the test, O Lord, and prove me:
try my mind and my heart.

SATB: For your steadfast love has been ever before my eyes:
and I have walked in your truth.

soprano/alto duet: I wash my hands in innocence, O Lord:
that I may go about your altar.

SATB: And lift up the voice of thanksgiving:
to tell of your marvelous works.

tenor solo: Lord, I love the house of your habitation:
and the place where your glory dwells.

SATB: My foot stand on an even path:
I will bless the Lord in the great congregation.

A good organ accompaniment and solid vocal writing make this piece a winner in your repertoire!
