About Consider all my sorrows, Lord
Thomas Clark sets a deeply reflective text for SATB choir. The music draws on the tradition of sacred hymnody, offering a profound meditation on seeking divine guidance. The opening Latin verses, drawn from Psalm 119, explore the blessedness of those who walk in God's law and earnestly seek Him. The composer's setting encourages the choir to express the earnestness of this spiritual quest. The text moves from a plea for righteous guidance to a commitment to upholding divine commands, all underpinned by a desire for closeness with the Lord. The English translation reflects this journey of faith and devotion.
