Stoks

Bruce Randall's West Gallery Group played for the church service at St Mary's Episcopal Church, where we also rehearse, on November 19, 2000, the Sunday before Thanksgiving.

This piece was done with voices only, for contrast with most of the program which was accompanied by instruments.

Here's an MP3 file of the first verse. ( 688128 bytes).

The words are from The Old Version Metrical paraphrase of Psalm 146. The music is from Robert Bradley's Psalm Chant Book.

The words to this verse are:

My soul praise thou the Lord always,
My God I will confess;
While breath and life prolong my days,
My tongue no tune shall cease.
