SCORED! The Psalmists Sonata

The Psalmists Sonata was composed in 2004 and shortly thereafter recorded with my vocal track. All along I also saw this composition as being fully orchestrated and performed as an instrumental. Recently I have studied digital notation as implemented on the computer and have spent late nights scoring the piece. I have written a full piano part and am busy adding digital instruments to record two more versions of the piece... the Winter version, which is piano with backup, and the Autumn version, which is digital strings.

I hope to have both new pieces completed by January 2011 and will notify as soon as they can be heard.

Till then, here's a reminder of some of the lyrics...
________________________________________

Your hymns elevate as they gently resonate.
  Brightening the midnight hour as they illuminate.
Glancing over the land at Your handiwork,
  My spirit rises skyward, ever higher and higher!
Reflection... Meditation! A time to spend alone
  With You, my Lord.
Communion... Inspiration! I love to deeply delve
  In the study of Your Word.
Painted with a palette of spiritual hues...
  Revealing God's poetry of truths.
A cornucopia filled with meaningful sonnets...
  Reflect a vast smorgasbord of You.
You've exalted above all things....
  Your name and Your Word.
Your name and Your Word.
