Choral Choir (SAB) - Level 3 - Digital Download
SKU: A0.818191
Composed by Philip Le Bas. Christian,Sacred. Octavo. 12 pages. Philip Le Bas #6603399. Published by Philip Le Bas (A0.818191).
A new composition setting the words of Psalm 133 for three-part (SABar) choir and piano. This cheerful, perhaps even rather idealistic psalm expressing the joy of "kindred dwelling in unity" has long been used to give voice to a human longing for acceptance by others, whether in a family or a community. Its verses compare this familial unity to the tradition of pouring expensive ointment over the head of visitors. Far from our modern use of oil for lubrication, this is an ancient middle-eastern oil of welcome and washing and feeling part of a community. Dwelling in unity is also compared to cloudy mist which regularly descends on the heights of Mount Hermon in Zion, providing moisture to an otherwise arid land and enabling life across the whole country. This setting is unashamedly playful, popular and romantic, with verses adding a more mysterious, metaphorical quality to the piece, and bringing to expression the deep joy of living in harmony with others..., even if finding this is not always easy. The composition is ideal for use by a parish choir, employing relatively easy part singing with a supportive piano part.
Psalm 133: Ecce quam bonum et quam iucundum, habitare fratres in unum.
Behold, how good it is, how pleasant, for kindred to dwell in unity.
It is like precious ointment upon the beard,
running down upon the beard of Aaron;
like the dew of Hermon,
which falls upon the mountains of Zion.
For there the Lord bestows his blessing:
life for evermore.
