Product Description

The music is from the beautiful Irish traditional tune, "Down in the Sally Garden" which complements the emotion of the lyrics which I have arranged from Psalm 13, the cadence of which fits perfectly with the tune.

Psalm 13 is a typical lament, in which the psalmist feels forgotten by God (Ps 13:23) - note the force of the repetition of "How long." The references to enemies may suggest some have wished evil on the psalmist. The heartfelt prayer (Ps 13:45) passes on a statement of trust (Ps 13:6a), intended to reinforce the prayer, and a vow to thank God when deliverance has come (Ps 13:6b).

I have other arrangements that include (1) 3 octave handbell choirs, (2) SATB choirs with organ accompaniment, (3) SATB choirs with piano accompaniment, (4) and 3 and 5 octave handbell choirs with piano accompaniment.
