A Blessed Lord's Day to the family in Germany.

The 23rd Psalm

Prayers for your safety and success of mission, tx, in Kandahar.

[Publius]

Franz Schubert set the 23rd Psalm to music late in his life. It's in German, and it doesn't scan well into English, which is why it is unknown outside the German-speaking world.

He wrote it for four women's voices accompanied by piano in the upper register so that it imitates the sound of a harp. (Angels with harps, get it?)

I saw it performed at an all-day Schubert concert in 2002, and it was wonderful.
