This original Scripture song based on Psalm 51 verses 10-12 is arranged as an instrumental trio (for CELLO and VIOLIN with PIANO Accompaniment). The VIOLIN plays the melody throughout while the CELLO 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 re-commitment.
Both string instruments have a range of just one octave: VIOLIN ~ D4 to D5; CELLO ~ B2 to B3. All notes for both the VIOLIN and CELLO are playable in the first position making this an excellent selection for beginning 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 CELLO and VIOLIN (2 pages each) and PIANO (4 pages)
3. a combined CELLO 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.
