PROGRAM

JULIUS REUBKE (1834–1858)​​​Der 94ste Psalm (Sonate)

PSALM 94

​'O Lord, the God who avenges, shine forth. Rise up, O judge of the earth; pay ​back to the proud what they deserve.

​​​​​Grave-Larghetto

​'How long will the wicked, O Lord, be jubilant? They slay the widow and the ​alien, they murder the fatherless. They say: the Lord does not see, the God of ​Jacob pays no heed.​​

​​​​​Allegro con fuoco

​'Unless the Lord had given me help, I would soon have dwelt in the silence of ​death. When anxiety was great within me, your consoloation brought joy to my ​soul.

​​​​​Adagio

​But the Lord has become my fortress and my refuge. He will repay them for their ​sins and destroy them for their wickedness.'
​​​​​
​​​​​Allegro
