Soprano solo, SA choir, keyboard, and optional string quartet - Moderately Easy - Digital Download SKU: MQ.56-0036-E Composed by Howard Goodall. 10 pages. MorningStar Music Publishers - Digital Sheet Music #56-0036-E. Published by MorningStar Music Publishers - Digital Sheet Music (MQ.56-0036-E). English. Psalms 139.Mary Sidney (1561-1621) penned an English version of Psalm 139 which is set here for soprano solo, SA chorus, and keyboard. The piece begins with a haunting, almost talismanic setting of the text âThou dost know when I sit down and rise up,â but it is set in Latin, and will return later as an accompaniment beneath the English text which is set to a beautiful, almost folk-like melody, albeit a bit more angular in spots. Yet the angularity suits the text perfectly and is comfortable. The result is a perfect anthem about Godâs all-knowing and ever-present care. Duration: 6:00.
