psalms

  • Out of the depths I cried to thee…in German and English
    LuAnn Johnson
    Psalms are an important part of both Jewish and Christian rituals, perfectly suited to intimate, congregational, and ceremonial music settings. Last week on Harmonia, we heard Latin versions of a Psalm that begins "Out of the depths I have cried to thee.” This week, we’ll explore some settings in German and English.
  • Roman de Fauvel, Gervais du Bus. Paris, circa 1315-1320.
    Psalm 2: The European Tour
    LuAnn Johnson
    The Book of Psalms figures prominently in the Hebrew, Christian, and Islamic faiths alike. This week on Harmonia, we’ll hear various settings of one psalm—Psalm 2—the one that begins, “Why do the nations rant? Why do the peoples rave uselessly?” Plus, our featured recording is Cantica Obsoleta by the ensemble Acronym.
  • David Playing the Zither by Italian baroque painter Andrea Celesti.
    David's Harp
    LuAnn Johnson
    “The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.” We’ll explore settings of the words of King David – psalms, laments, and music for his instrument—the harp. Our featured release is Sansara: Cloths of Heaven…on Harmonia.
