Choral piece looking for choirs :
Hi, my piece ‘Psaume 42’ has been transposed in F sharp major (2 steps higher than the original version). This way, the voice tessituras are more appropriate and the piece can be sung by most choirs now.
I’m looking for choirs who would be interested to give it in concert.
It’s written for mixed SATB choir, piano and flute.
The music is written in a classical style and lasts about 6’45”.
The lyrics are in french language and are directly inspired by the psalm 42.

Lyrics :
Ô Dieu, mon Dieu, j’ai soif de toi,
Dans cette terre desséchée, dans cette terre aride…
Ô Dieu, mon Dieu, je viens vers Toi,
Comme cette biche assoiffée après tes courants d’eau…
Je viens vers Toi mon Père, recueille ma prière.
Quand irai-je et paraitrai-je devant ta face ô Dieu ?
Ô Dieu, mon Dieu ! Tu es mon Dieu et le salut de ma face.
Mon âme, pourquoi t’abats-tu, et gémis-tu sur moi ?
Il est mon salut et mon Dieu.
Mon âme, attends-toi à ton Dieu, de Lui vient ton salut.
Encore je le louerai, je le célèbrerai, Il est mon Dieu !
Encore je louerai, je célèbrerai mon salut et mon Dieu.
Ô Dieu, mon Dieu ! Ô Dieu, tu es mon Dieu,
Tu es mon Dieu et le salut de ma face,
Le salut de ma face.
English literal translation by Maria Miller :
O God, my God ! I thirst for you,
In this parched earth, in this arid land…
O God, my God, I come to You,
As a thirsty doe toward currents of water.
I come to You, my Father, hear my prayer.
When will I go and appear before your face O God ?
O God, my God ! You are my God and the salvation of my soul.
My soul, why are you cast down, why do you cry out within me ?
He is my salvation and my God.
My soul, wait for your God, from Him comes your salvation.
Still I will praise Him,
I will celebrate my salvation and my God !
O God, my God ! O God, You are my God !
You are my God and the salvation of my soul.
The salvation of my soul.
