Kurt Suttner, editor of the "carus novus" series, has written as follows in the foreword to the printed edition of Schanderl’s setting of Psalm 90: The seven verses of Psalm 90 contrast the eternity of God with the transitoriness of man.This contrast is symbolized in the composition by the majestic, slow-moving basic pulse of the music, and by rhythmically taut, concise, polyphonic melodic figures. This contrast exactly matches the words which speak either of the permanence of God ("Domine – Lord") or the transitory nature of man ("convertimini filii hominum – return ye children of man" – "mane sicut herba – like the grass").
