Description
I wrote this for the Second Annual Jewish-Catholic Dialogue at the Vatican. It was premiered there on Nov. 16, 2010. It's a setting of Psalm 116 in Hebrew and Latin. I used a lot of the vocal transformation to do the women's voices. It's all me. I sang each voice part 4 times, so that's 16 of me. Oy! I should have stood up!
Here's the story about the piece.
Here's a live video of this from Rome here

Lyrics
What shall I render to the Eternal, for all the things that God has rendered to me?
I will take the chalice of salvation; and I will call upon the name of the Eternal.
I will pay my vows to the Eternal before all God's people:
Precious in the sight of the Eternal is the death of God's saints.
O God, for I am Your servant: I am Your servant, and the son of Your handmaid. You have broken my bonds:
I will sacrifice to You the sacrifice of praise, and I will call upon the name of the Eternal.
I will pay my vows to the Eternal in the sight of all God's people:
In the courts of the house of the Eternal, in the midst of you, O Jerusalem. Halleluyah.
I will take the chalice of salvation; and I will call upon the name of the Eternal.
I will pay my vows to the Eternal before all God's people:
Precious in the sight of the Eternal is the death of God's saints.
O God, for I am Your servant: I am Your servant, and the son of Your handmaid. You have broken my bonds:
I will sacrifice to You the sacrifice of praise, and I will call upon the name of the Eternal.
I will pay my vows to the Eternal in the sight of all God's people:
In the courts of the house of the Eternal, in the midst of you, O Jerusalem. Halleluyah.
