The Temple Musician

Easy Band Series

Composed in 2019 on commission from the Christian Music Association Asaf – Lollum (FR)

This composition has been written to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Christelijke Muziekvereniging Asaf (Christian Music Society Asaf, Lollum, Friesland, the Netherlands). This group was originally founded in 1898, but then ceased to operate and was re-created in 1994, making the group in fact over a hundred years old.

The title of this work is based on the name of the Music Society Asaf (Dutch for Asaph) who commissioned it. In the Hebrew Bible, the poet, singer, and seer Asaph is in charge of the choir in the house of King David. Various psalms, including Psalm 81, which is used in this work, are attributed to him. The melody of this psalm is flanked by a march-like initial part, and the traditional klezmer melody ‘Uri Tzion’ features as a spectacular finale.
