[May 2024 update: I have added captions to this video, in both English (+ scripture references) and Hebrew!] 0:00 I. Psalm 108 vs. 2; Psalm 100, entire 3:35 II. Psalm 23 entire; Psalm 2, vs. 1-4 9:12 III. Psalm 131, entire; Psalm 133, vs. 1
To everyone who wants the English translation, here are the sections of Psalms. Psalms are readily available in English translation. Psalm 23 is famous you will recognize it in English immediately. It's probably also on your computer as well as in your Bible.
In all the choirs I was in as a student, The Chichester Psalms was the most exciting piece I ever sang. So very unlike any religious music I’d ever heard before. It was FUN to perform this piece with a good choir; it’s so dynamic.
I learned this for the first time at 18 in Zamir Chorale led by Stanley Sperber. It was harmonically and rhythmically strange to me then. But the more I hear it, the more beautiful I realize it is.
This song was our Grand Chorus piece in high school. I've never sang anything like this before and to this day, 20 years later, is still one of my favorite choral pieces ever. Sure, it only sounded so good with a group of 70 some high schoolers so being able to hear it how it was intended was a mind boggling experience. The robust pick up at 2:05 is my absolute favorite.
1:291:30 Etonnante réminiscence d'un passage de la symphonie pastorale (1er mvt, mesures 255 à 263 ) vers 1mn12 dans la première partie.. (pp en sib mineur) Probablement inconsciente mais facilement explicable de la part d'un chef qui la dirigea certainement très souvent. Du reste il ne s'agit nullement d'un plagiat mais du réemploi d'une courte séquence musicale dans un contexte tout à fait différent. Réminiscence "creatrice" , en quelque sorte.
@andewmole I really enjoyed this post. I would like to email you about the second section. I’m familiar with Psalms 1-4 or Tehillim, as they are called in Hebrew. I would like to more closely study translation in English of lyrics. I have played violin in this work.
Wonderful video, thank you for sharing! Out of curiosity, did you get the score from the Boosey website? How did you remove the watermark in that case?
It is quite possible if you look up the text in the English language Bible. I can't believe people are asking this question! Hebrew is clearly out of most people's reach; but the Psalms in English? Psalm 23? Doesn't anyone read the Bible anymore?

Listening superficial can't get differentail between NY Philharmonic VS Isarael Philharmonic First heard I thought that from Origin NY's

Since the watermark is just light grey it can be processed. I used ScoreProcessor by Cmaj7
Is it possible to see English translation of text?
Look at the sections in Psalms and read the English version!
