The King of Love My Shepherd Is - BAR0122702 | Muziek

This quiet, lyrical, chorale prelude for winds by composer Alfred Reed is built on this old Protestant hymn which was written by Henry Williams Baker (1821-1877). The text Baker used is from Psalm 23, the "Shepherd Psalm" and the melody is said to have originated from an ancient Irish melody.

Delicate in nature and absolutely full of beautiful writing, this is a wonderful composition for more advanced groups who wish to explore expressive techniques.
