Lord, You Have Been Our Dwelling Place
Eugene Butler
In this setting of Psalm 90, Eugene Butler has expertly captured the grandeur and majesty of the celebrated text. The energetic syncopation of the opening section is contrasted with flowing lines in the a cappella sections, giving the choir a chance to shine in long phrases and lush harmonies. This festive piece will make a great effect when the Brass Ensemble (2 Trumpets in Bb, 2 Trombones and Tuba or Bass Trombone) is added.
