Program Notes

Psalm 150 was written for the Messiah College Wind Ensemble, to be played at the inaugural concert of the High Center for Worship and the Performing Arts on the campus of Messiah College. The piece was premiered on October 10, 2013 in Parmer Hall on the campus of Messiah College by the Messiah College Wind Ensemble, Bradley Genevro conducting, with Bruce Yurko playing the solo organ part.

The music is full of the energy suggested by the text of the Psalm: “Praise ye the Lord, Praise God in his Sanctuary

- Program Note from liner notes of Klavier Music CD The Sun Will Rise Again

Psalm 150 reads:

Praise the LORD.
Praise God in his sanctuary;
praise him in his mighty heavens.

Praise him for his acts of power;
praise him for his surpassing greatness.

Praise him with the sounding of the trumpet,
praise him with the harp and lyre,

praise him with timbrel and dancing,
praise him with the strings and pipe,

praise him with the clash of cymbals,
praise him with resounding cymbals.

Let everything that has breath praise the LORD.

Praise the LORD.

The melody is based upon the hymn Now Thank We All Our God.

For Brad Genevro & Bill Stowman.
