About "Nicholson: Psalm 76 "Notus in Iudaea"" by St Paul's Cathedral Choir
Nicholson's setting of Psalm 76 opens with a stern, processional gravity, the choir's unison declaring divine judgment like thunder rolling over Judea's hills. Beneath the calm Anglican surface, unease flickers—the organ's pedal notes a subterranean tremor, as if the earth itself trembles before a wrathful majesty.
