Three Psalms (Movement 1) Psalm 1 Congratulations!♫ Tone Poem for Violin and Piano by Stephen R Dalrymple♫ transcribed for solo flute, clarinet, trumpet, euphonium/trombone, & cello ♫ music © 2015 Stephen R Dalrymple♫ recording ℗ 2020 Stephen R Dalrymple♫ presentation © 2023 Stephen R Dalrymple ♫ sequenced by the composer ♫ “Blessed are / Blessed is” is actually a congratulatory formula in the Bible. We could paraphrase, “Congratulations belong to the one who … or “Consider the person blessed who …” But these congratulations reveal a subtle twist. These congratulations come to unlikely individuals. Many of the “Blessed are” unexpectedly run counter to the opinions of the world at large both in Bible times and our times. Our culture congratulates the wicked, not the righteous. It is deemed a compliment in our culture to be called a bad ass. “I’m not a saint!” “I’m not a prude” are common phrases used to distance oneself from the “Eagle Scout” or the “puritanical.” ♫ The movements of the tone poem “Three Psalms” are written using contemporary classical music composition techniques.♫ The theme representing the one who loves God’s law is set in Dorian Mode and restated in the Aeolian Mode. The theme reflecting the lawbreaker is set in the Lokrian Mode with polytonality.♫ This .pdf file includes 14 score choices • Letter size score for Violin & piano • Letter size solo parts for Flute, Clarinet, Trumpet, Euphonium (or trombone), & Cello • 10 inch tablet size score for violin & piano • 10 inch tablet size score for the same solo parts. ♫ (Tell your computer which pages you want to print.
