Psalm 150
for mixed choir and organ
by Dale Ramsey
This award winning setting of “Psalm 150” uses an inclusive language version of this beloved Psalm. Many congregations prefer not to use male pronoun references to God, and in this instance, “his” and “him” as well as the word “Lord” are replaced simply with “God”. The organ part is of particular interest, as it was written for the dedication service of a new pipe organ. It is not very challenging for the choir, especially those who are somewhat familiar with contemporary music. The organ part calls on a range of organ colors and is easily accomplished on a two-manual instrument.

| SATB | 4' | English | This beloved folk tune has been arranged with optional, muted trumpet (the timbre adds to the mood of the piece). The piano accompaniment expands the 4-part harmony of the choir to suggest more contemporary harmony with a few jazz chords.
