This passage from Psalm 42 has been a comfort to me in trying times. I set out to compose a musical setting of the text in hopes that the words and music may be of comfort to others too in seasons of grief, adversity, or doubt. “My tears have been my food both day and night, and all the time, people ask, ‘Where is your God?’ But each day, the Lord pours His unfailing love upon me, and through the night, I sing His songs, praying to God who gives me life.� (Psalm 42:3, 8) I composed the piece originally for a cappella choir, but after finishing, I was inspired to create a transcription for Concert Band as well. This transcription may be performed separately, or combined with choir for more impact if desired.

This is a short flashy fanfare that may be used to begin a band concert. Composed for the opening of the Buttermilk Creek Performance Center in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin, it provides a brilliant start to any band concert. It features shifting meters, which only add to the excitement of the piece. It includes a repeated quiet section in the middle over which a voice-over announcement can be made. .
