About "Willcocks: Psalm 83 "Deus, quis similis?"" by Andrew Lucas
Willcocks's setting of Psalm 83 is a storm of imprecation, the choir's urgent, overlapping lines like a gathering of enemies. The organ's turbulent interludes and the music's rising sequences create a sense of escalating threat, a prayer for deliverance that trembles with righteous fury.
