Asheim: Salmenes Bok (The Book Of Psalms)

The process behind this work originates from when Oslo Cathedral commissioned a large-scaled work by Nils Henrik Asheim. The composer suggested including a choir to create a cycle of texts from the Book of Psalms, and the Oslo Cathedral Choir were more than willing to participate. The titles of these five movements are taken from Psalm 150,v.1–3. (Lawo)
