About "John Foster, G.C. Martin: Psalm 55 "Exaudi, Deus"" by Andrew Lucas
Foster and Martin's setting of Psalm 55 is a study in restless devotion. The choir's shifting harmonies evoke a bird beating against stained glass, each verse a flutter of anxiety and trust. The organ's intermittent growl suggests the 'noise of the enemy' lurking just beyond the nave.
