About "Atkins: Psalm 63 "Deus, Deus meus"" by John Scott
Atkins's Psalm 63 is a desert cry, John Scott's organ a dry, cracked foundation. The choir's sopranos soar like a thirst-mad bird, the melody straining toward the sanctuary. The tension is between longing and exhaustion—the calm of the final verse feels earned, but the earlier desperation still echoes.
