Psalm 91 (original composition, 2017)

This original composition is inspired by the text of Psalm 91. The first section of the piece is meant to evoke the "fortress" and the "shadow" of the Almighty. Next, listen for the "fowler’s snare" and the "terror of night." However, the danger doesn’t last long and we are soon reminded that "The Lord is my refuge." The final section describes God’s deliverance, ultimately leading to long life and salvation.

Special thanks to Angela Kraft Cross, my composition teacher, and Valerie Sterk, my organ teacher. Also thanks to Sarah Hawthorne for doing the video and audio recording.

Played on the pipe organ at Sunnyvale Presbyterian Church in Sunnyvale, CA.
