description: From Lewandowski’s 1879 collection of 18 Psalm settings in German, intended for the general market, as well as synagogue choirs (Achtzehn liturgische Psalmen für Soli und Chor mit Begleitung der Orgel). This is a beautiful lyrical/dramatic composition, firmly rooted in the mid 19th-century classic/romantic German style.
