The 23rd Psalm (dedicated to my mother) by Bobby Mcferrin. By Bobby Mcferrin. For SATB choir (a cappella) (SATB). Sacred Choral. Choral. Sacred. Difficulty: medium-difficult. Octavo. 8 pages. Published by Hal Leonard (HL.8596598).

This ethereal transcription, as recorded by Bobby McFerrin, provides a new and different setting for this cherished Psalm. The very free, almost chant-like rhythms and repetitive harmonies of this a cappella piece, coupled with an original paraphrase of the text, produce a very contemporary perspective on the well-known words of assurance. Especially useful for Good Shepherd Sunday. Available: SATB a cappella.

        Touching, contemplative

        I really enjoyed singing Bobby Mcferrin's "The 23rd Psalm" in a church choir, for Mother's Day worship service. The female language for God was very touching for many in the congregation--something you don't hear often in church music! The music written as a chant challenges a choir to listen well...

        Fabulous Song!

        I performed this song in college and now I am using it in my wedding. So beautiful, and well written. Deceivingly more difficult that it first appears. Have fun with it!
