Augsburg Fortress

This brilliant setting of text from Psalm 145 by Emma Lou Diemer is bold and full of vitality. A strong choral part, accessible to larger choirs, is supported by a spectacular organ part that is a delight to play. At 20 pages, this is not a small work, but choirs looking for a festival piece will thrill to prepare this accomplishable music for liturgy or concert. First published in 1992, this music is very much in the composer's mature style but written with care for a church ensemble. The expressive power of this music, a testament to the composer's genius, makes a lasting impression on performer and listener alike.
