Description |
Psalm 151 was commissioned by Joan DeVee Dixon in 1998 in honor of Alvin Broyles. The piece moves restlessly with sixteenth-note figuration, punctuated by melodic ideas that alternate between the hands. Psalm 151 builds to a dramatic close in which an A major chord emerges from the contrasting sonorities and is sustained full organ to the end. (Psalm 151 is one of the non-canonical psalms found in the Dead Sea Scrolls at Quamran.)
