Double chant in E major by John Goss — Lyrics

Psalmus David. Dominus regit me, et nihil mihi deerit: in loco pascuae, ibi me collocavit. Super aquam refectionis educavit me; animam meam convertit. Deduxit me super semitas justitiae propter nomen suum.

About Double chant in E major

The familiar words of Psalm 23, the Shepherd's Psalm, are here set as a Double Chant by John Goss. This format allows for a fuller musical development than a single chant, with the choir often divided. The text expresses profound trust and comfort in God's guidance, painting a picture of peaceful pastures and abundant provision. Goss's setting, suitable for SATB choir, provides a dignified and uplifting musical framework for these comforting verses. The music is presented in E major, a key often associated with strength and praise, and is designed to be sung in either Latin or English, reflecting the inclusive nature of Anglican chant tradition.
