Programme notes *: Psalm 100, also known as “A Psalm of Thanksgiving,” is a song of praise and a call to praise and worship of God. This psalm expresses joy and gratitude to God and encourages believers to come to Him with joy and praise. The combination of Psalm 100 with James Curnow's composition "A Psalm of Praise" is a remarkable fusion of spiritual poetry and musical creativity. Curnow's composition is based on the well-known hymn tune "Praise my soul, the King of Heaven", which is widely used in a church context. Motifs and fragments of this melody are cleverly woven into the musical fabric of "A Psalm of Praise", alongside the original thematic material. The hymn melody "Praise my soul, the King of heaven" serves as the basis for the musical interpretation of Psalm 100. By using this familiar melody, Curnow creates a bridge between the biblical text and the musical presentation, allowing the audience to relate to both to connect spiritually and emotionally with the praise. The motifs and fragments of the hymn melody appear in various forms throughout the work, allowing for creative processing and variation of the melodic themes. This gives the composition a coherent structure and tonal unity, while highlighting the versatility and depth of the melody. Through "A Psalm of Praise", James Curnow succeeds in casting the timeless message of Psalm 100 into a musical form that is both spiritually and aesthetically pleasing. The use of the hymn melody as a musical framework gives the work a familiarity and an accessible dimension that makes it a popular piece for choirs and musicians seeking to express praise through music.
