PDZ update
Mar. 11th, 2008 09:49 pmTwo more movements posted tonight: 20 and 21.
Twenty's piano reduction is not officially done, since it's not playable by one person and a four-hand (two-piano) reduction is not generally practical. Nevertheless, it's good enough to record and post. The text is Psalm 147, and the use of a ritornello was inspired by Vivaldi's L'estro Armonico; the episodes are for soprano and bass soloists while the recurring theme is sung by the full chorus.
Twenty-one is Psalm 148, the same text that inspired our siddur cover.
