The Lord Is My Shepherd

With "The Lord Is My Shepherd", Oxford University Press presents a deeply moving and beautifully lyrical setting of the timeless 23rd Psalm for four-part mixed choir (SATB) and organ. The sensitive melodic lines and warm harmonies poignantly capture the comforting and uplifting message of this beloved sacred text. In addition to the traditional organ accompaniment, the piece offers exceptional musical flexibility: it can alternatively be performed with chamber orchestra (oboe, harp, strings) or a small ensemble (oboe, harp, and organ), with instrumental parts available on hire. Whether for church services, special occasions such as weddings and memorial services, or sacred choral concerts, this evocative work will deeply resonate with both singers and audiences alike.
