About "Parratt: Psalm 85 "Benedixisti, Domine"" by Andrew Lucas
Parratt's Psalm 85 opens with a plea for restoration, the choir's soft, contrite beginning like rain on parched earth. The music's gradual brightening—from minor to major, from supplication to promise—creates a landscape of hope, where the organ's swell suggests the nearness of peace.
