A flowing and at the same time stable feeling, reflecting the text, is created by stacked thirds. Polyphonic structures are reminiscent of the renaissance. The music creates calm, scary, grand and thankful atmospheres in the same quick succession that the text dictates.

The LORD is my shepherd, I lack nothing.
He makes me lie down in green pastures,
he leads me beside quiet waters,
he refreshes my soul.
He guides me along the right paths
for his name’s sake.
Even though I walk through the darkest valley,
I will fear no evil,
for you are with me;
your rod and your staff, they comfort me.
You prepare a table before me
in the presence of my enemies.
You anoint my head with oil;
my cup overflows.
Surely your goodness and love will follow me
all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the lord forever.
