Ashford by William Billings — Lyrics
Psalmus David. Dominus regit me, et nihil mihi deerit:
in loco pascuae, ibi me collocavit. Super aquam refectionis educavit me;
animam meam convertit. Deduxit me super semitas justitiae propter nomen suum.

About Ashford
This SATB setting of Ashford offers a profound musical reflection on Psalm 23, blending Latin and English texts. The familiar words speak of divine guidance and protection, promising comfort and peace in the face of adversity. Such a text is ideal for moments of contemplation or solemn occasions within a service, offering solace and reassurance to the congregation. William Billings crafts a sacred hymn that resonates with enduring faith, making it a fitting choice for choirs seeking to explore themes of trust and spiritual well-being through music. The composition is well-suited for a choir that appreciates both the gravitas of sacred texts and the expressive potential of four-part harmony.
