“Preserve me, O Lord” is a work for Male\Femail choir and piano which is based on the words from Psalms (Chapter 140).
The work is written as a neo-baroque Aria and expresses a prayer and supplication for the Supreme Power to save one from persecution and distress. Despite the formal and stylistic patterns, deliberate irregularities in the musical contents are evident.
These deviations seem to attract the listener and reveal that although the covering is traditional – a contemporary composer plays by writing these pieces and putting his personal expression within the classical framework.
