Description

A Wanderer's Psalm is a musical composition by Horatio William Parker, originally published in 1900. The piece is set to music for soli, chorus, and orchestra, and is based on Psalm 121 from the Book of Psalms in the Bible. The composition is also known by its Latin title, Cantus Peregrinus, which translates to ""Pilgrim's Song."" The piece is characterized by its soaring melodies and rich harmonies, which evoke a sense of wonder and awe. The lyrics of the Psalm speak of the comfort and protection that God provides to those who wander and travel through life, and Parker's music captures this sentiment with its sweeping orchestral arrangements and powerful vocal performances. A Wanderer's Psalm has been performed by numerous choirs and orchestras over the years, and remains a beloved piece of classical music. Its enduring popularity is a testament to Parker's skill as a composer and his ability to create music that speaks to the human spirit.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
