I performed Psalm 90 in 1974 in my third year at Duquesne University in the Chamber Singers conducted by Dr. Marshall Hill in Duquesne University's Chapel, and I'll never forget it. Right before our performance, Dr. Hill gathered the singers outside the Chapel and read Psalm 90 from the Bible. No hyperbole, he just read the scripture to us, and then we went in and performed it. From that day on, Psalm 90 has become my favorite psalm. And as I watched this video tonight in 2024, I found tears streaming down my cheeks. July 2024
what are your favorites? which symphony? which sonatas? I as well love just about everything he wrote, he made significant contributions to almost every form he wrote in.
Great inspiring psalm! Your performance was truly moving, and the words of the psalm brought me so much comfort and hope. Thank you for sharing your talent and for using it to spread the love and wisdom of God. May your music continue to touch the hearts of many and be a source of strength and encouragement. Keep up the amazing work!
According to Jan Swafford's Ives biography, the original of this was lost, and Ives decided to recompose it from memory, revising it as was his custom in 1924. It was the last piece of music he thoroughly composed (Ives live another 30 years) and when he was done with it, he expressed particular satisfaction with it. Ives had been a church organist and a choir director starting at age 13 and through his first post-Yale years until he got too busy with work, so he was thoroughly familiar with this composition.
@@LynnDavidNewton did he wrote those polytonal parts already in 1894? That would be cool, especially since Variations on America already has two small polytonal interludes, and this piece could be a way more expansive first use of polytonality.
@@lolllololllo I'm no expert on this. I'm guessing that if he rewrote it from memory, he made substantial revisions and additions to it in the process. Ives was the kind of composer who never considered anything he wrote to be complete, only works in progress. I understand this viewpoint myself, as it's how I've always felt about everything I've ever done.
Looking at the many "Colla parte" written in pencil on the organ part a bitter grin escaped from my mouth: the choir struggles all the time to tame a very dense harmony, there are some relieving unison verses, and the organ... always plays as it had to mislead the voices... sad story.
I know im asking randomly but does anybody know a way to log back into an instagram account..? I stupidly forgot my login password. I would love any help you can give me!
@Jayden Darwin i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site on google and Im in the hacking process atm. Takes a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
you realise how difficult it is to sing it properly when you notice that the conductor required the organist to double the voices when ives didn't want

I already adore Ives. I enjoy almost everything he's wrote. This Psalm though. This is absolutely otherworldly. Thank you so much for this upload!

Beautiful work, outstanding performance. Thanks for uploading.

Stunning Psalm!
HOW CAN THIS BE 1896 OMG WHAT A VISIONARY😭
Yes, he was a genius. An American musical icon of first rank - but strangely still not sufficiently known to the general public.
