Piano,Voice Duet Piano,Voice - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.565305 By Sharon Wilson. By Sharon Wilson. Arranged by Sharon Wilson. Contemporary,Easter,Holiday,Praise & Worship,Sacred. 17 pages. Sharon Wilson #3872549. Published by Sharon Wilson (A0.565305). This Scripture song based on Psalm 57 verses 1 and 7-10 is formatted as a vocal duet with piano accompaniment. This arrangement is in the key of G major with the vocal ranges the same for both parts: the first B below middle C to the first B above middle C (B3 to B4). The limited, moderate vocal range makes this song accessible to just about every combination of voices (SA, AA, AB, TB, etc.) It is a very straight-forward arrangement with the SOPRANO (Part 1) carrying the melody throughout and the ALTO (Part 2) adding a non-complex harmony. Duration 3:00.This Psalm is a prayer written by David while in a cave when he was fleeing from Saul (1 Samuel 22). It is presented here as a song of meditation and praise, drawing the listeners into an atmosphere of prayer and trust in God. The simplicity of the melody allows the vocalists to focus on the words and dynamics as the audience is drawn to the beauty of God's Word expressed musically. The purchase price includes the 9-page combined score with both vocal and piano parts on each page plus a separate VOCALS only score (4 pages) and a PIANO only score (3 pages). To purchase multiple copies for 2-part choral use, this arrangement is available separately at a reduced price.  The lyrics were adapted from the King James Version (KJV) and the World English Version (WEB) and are printed below:Lyrics:VERSE 1Be merciful to me, O God, be merciful to me,For my soul takes refuge in you,In the shadow of your wings.Be merciful to me, O God, be merciful to me, For in the shadow of your wingsMy soul will always findRefuge, refuge, refuge in You.VERSE 2My heart is fixed on you, O God, my heart is fixed on you.I’ll sing and give you praises.I’ll wake up at dawn and give you thanks.I’ll sing your praises to all people,For your love is great.You loving kindness reaches far beyond the starry skies.Wake up, wake up, wake up and sing.ENDINGBe merciful to me, O God, be merciful to me,For my soul takes refuge in the shadow of your wings.For my soul takes refuge in the shadow of your wings.Visit Sharon Wilson’s website: www.SharonWilsonMusic.comSubscribe to her YouTube Channel: www.youtube.com/user/SharonWilsonMusic

Piano,Voice Duet Piano,Voice - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.534403 Composed by Jacques Leguerney. 20th Century,Christian,Concert,Sacred,Standards. 15 pages. Musik Fabrik Music Publishing #3457407. Published by Musik Fabrik Music Publishing (A0.534403). This is one of two duets that Leguerney wrote for Geneviève Touraine and her brother, the famous French baritone Gérard Souzay. It was completed on 21 January 1950. The first performance, with Souzay and Touraine, was 21 June 1950 in the Parisian Salle Gaveau with Jacqueline Robin (Bonneau) at the piano.  Previously unpublished, De l’abîme profond, was first recorded by soprano Danielle Borst and baritone Philippe Huttenlocher with Mary Dibbern at the piano. This was for the CD 50-9618, 28 Mélodies issued by Claves Records-Radio Suisse Romande: Espace 2 in 1996. The recording was recognized with the Grand Prix du Disque de l’Académie Charles Cros. The US premiere performance was by soprano Jill Pearon and baritone David Pittman-Jennings, accompanied by Mary Dibbern, during a recital at the Crane School of Music, SUNY-Potsdam, New York, 23 October 2007. The vocal range for the soprano line is C1-G#2 and for the baritone line is B-F1. The text’s poet, Jean de La Céppède (1550-1622), was born in Marseille and spent most of his life working as a lawyer and magistrate in Aix–en–Provence. His principal work, Théorèmes, consists of 515 sonnets dealing with the life of Jesus Christ and the “sacred mysteries of our redemption.â€� La Céppède’s poem is a translation of a psalm by David from the Old Testament of the Bible. Leguerney also set a psalm of David for medium voice and chamber orchestra, which was premiered by Gérard Souzay in 1954. This orchestral Psaume LXII de David is also published by Musik Fabrik. The French author Jean Roy, reviewing this duet in Le Monde de la Musique (January, 1997), wrote: “There is a grandeur and a dramatic sentiment that surpasses [a] work that one might dismiss as minor.â€� For a detailed discussion of the music and both a word-by-word English translation and International Phonetic Alphabet transcription of the French text, see The Songs of Jacques Leguerney: A Guide for Study and Performance by Mary Dibbern, Carol Kimball and Patrick Choukroun.
