About "Scaife: Psalm 52 "Quid gloriaris?"" by St Paul's Cathedral Choir
Scaife's Psalm 52 crackles with righteous defiance, the choir's declamation sharp as flint. Beneath the confident counterpoint, a tremor of unease—the wicked are named, but the music knows judgment is never clean. St Paul's trebles pierce the texture like sunlight through a barred window.
