In Every Age

Written as a Lenten gathering song, this assembly piece, based on an alternate translation of Psalm 90 from the Anchor Bible, deals with topics of faith, truth, and God's love for us. Scored for SAB chorus, piano, and a virtuosic, improvisatory flute part, the simple, diatonic refrain tune proceeds mainly in quarter notes, with the four verses in two-part harmony ushering in a more rhythmically complex texture with some chromatic coloring.
