About "J. Goss: Psalm 127 "Nisi Dominus"" by St Paul's Cathedral Choir
Goss's 'Nisi Dominus' opens with a firm, architectural theme—'Except the Lord build the house'—and the choir constructs it brick by brick. The music's confidence is almost smug, until the final verse's 'blessed is the man' softens into vulnerability. A cathedral built on a fault line.
