This original Scripture song based on Psalm 51 verses 10-12 is arranged as an instrumental trio (for FLUTE and/or VIOLIN Duet with PIANO Accompaniment). The FLUTE part plays the melody throughout while the VIOLIN part adds a flowing harmony.
This Psalm is a prayer of King David and presented here for meditation and reflection. The simplicity of the melody, harmony, and accompaniment allows the instruments to focus on their parts while adding expression and dynamics, drawing the listeners into an atmosphere of prayer and recommitment.
Though notated with FLUTE on part 1 and VIOLIN on part 2, the ranges are also accessible for other combinations of C instruments (2 violins, 2 flutes, etc.). The range for each part is as follows: FLUTE ~ A4 to A5; VIOLIN ~ F#4 to F#5. For the violin on either part, all notes are playable in the first position making this piece an excellent choice for early intermediate string players.
The purchase price includes these printing options: 1. a grand staff (9 pages) with all parts on each page
2. separate scores for the FLUTE and VIOLIN (2 pages each) and PIANO (4 pages)
3. a combined FLUTE and VIOLIN score (3 pages)
The lyrics were adapted from the King James Version (KJV) and the World English Version (WEB) and are printed below:
Lyrics:Create in me a clean heart, O God.Renew a right spirit within me.Cast me not away from Thy presence, O Lord;And take not Thy Holy Spirit from me.Restore unto me the joy of Thy salvation;And uphold me with Thy willing spirit.Then will I teach transgressors Thy ways'And sinners shall be converted unto Thee.Create in me a clean heart, O God.Renew a right spirit within me.Cast me not away from Thy presence, O Lord;And take not Thy Holy Spirit from me.
Create in me a clean heart, O God.
