About B - Temps pascal 3 - Ps. 4 - Sur nous Seigneur
This setting of Psalm 4 is intended for use during the Easter season, as suggested by the French title 'Temps pascal'. The text, sung in French, opens with a plea for God's favour, that His face may shine upon us. It continues with themes of divine justice, deliverance from distress, and the assurance of God's faithfulness. The composer sets the words for SATB choir, offering a sacred musical response to the psalm. The refrain, 'Sur nous, Seigneur, que s’illumine ton visage', provides a central petition for light and divine presence, resonating with the Easter message of divine illumination and hope.
