About This Song
About "Oakeley: Psalm 119: Verses 113-120 "Iniquos odio habui"" by St Paul's Cathedral Choir
Oakeley's verses seethe with righteous hatred—'I hate the double-minded'—yet the music's steady homophony feels strangely calm. The tension is in the text: a heart on fire, delivered with the cool precision of a prayer book. The choir becomes a jury, each chord a verdict.
