About "J. Goss: Psalm 21 "Domine, in virtute tua"" by St Paul's Cathedral Choir
Goss's Psalm 21 opens with a regal, almost martial organ figure, the choir answering with confident praise. Yet the calm is deceptive: the text's royal triumph carries an edge of fragility, as if the crown might slip. The harmony tightens like a fist before releasing into a final, uneasy cadence.
