Octavo. 7 pages. MorningStar Music Publishers - Digital Sheet Music #80-605-E. Published by MorningStar Music Publishers - Digital Sheet Music (MQ.80-605-E). English, Spanish. Psalm 19:8-15.Fr. Jim Chepponis was commissioned to write a festive setting of Psalm 19 for the dedication of Christ Cathedral in Orange County, CA, in 2019. The result is what we've come to expect from this veteran composer. The optional instrumentation for flute, oboe, brass quintet, percussion, organ, and strings is perfect for a festive liturgy but can also be pared down for other occasions. The alternate refrains and different sets of verses make it work at multiple liturgies at which Psalm 19 is appointed. Both assembly and choral writing is very singable. The icing on the cake is that it can be done in English, Spanish, or a combination of the two.
