Psalm-provisation Electronica: Psalm 28

The "Psalm-provisation" series is a still yet unfinished project in which I am attempting to set each of the 150 Psalms in the Hebrew scriptures to quasi-improvised works for organ(s), and synthesizer, often with percussion, and strings.  

A note to the listener - these are not psalm-tone settings, nor  are they meant to be sung by human voice in any way.  The settings are INSPIRED by the psalm text, typically through my own admittedly unconventional, or at least non-traditional theological take.  

I am well aware this genre as well as this particular use of organ is not for everyone!

Once again, in Psalm 28 I perceive a juxtaposition of emotional states: there is exultation mixed with pleading mixed with a call for vengeance. I have attempted to reflect that in rapidly changing, sometimes opposing rhythmic motifs while holding the center firmly in (heroic!) D major.

Scored for organ, synthesizers, percussion.
