In his Psalm 151 on lyrics by Edward Broadbridge, the Danish composer John Hoybye stages, so to speak, a theatrical play, assigning clear roles to the solo violin and the choir. The violin, representing the voice of God, enters into a dialog with the choir which represents the voice of man. They speak to one another, they comment on each other, wrestle with each other, spur each other on and thus develop a musical momentum.
