Bless the Lord. Psalm 103

The motet Bless the Lord, O My Soul (2013) on verses from Psalm 103 exploits the possibilities of vocal combinations and the resulting sound effects to a high degree: In the opening invocation "O my soul", the soprano 1 ascends to float above the fanned out low chord of the other voices: and beginning from "For as the heavens are high above the earth", an eight-part fugato masses together into an extensive architecture of sound. The harmony of the work is tonal, but many enriched chords create a tension rich in nuances in the setting. The work has been released on the CD "Rejoice. Vocal Music by Kay Johannsen" (Carus 83.496/00).
