Nisi Dominus
Psalm 127 2022
Tango Argentino meets Classic! The Argentine composer Martín Palmeri, whose Misatango is beloved by many choirs, has set Psalm 127 Nisi Dominus for solo soprano and mixed choir, accompanied by bandoneon, strings, and piano. Although he incorporates the traditional tango, this does not stop him from including a fugue...
The work was commissioned for the 50th anniversary of Carus and received its premiere on 24 June 2022 at the Musikfest ION in Nuremberg.
The orchestral material includes a part for accordion, which can be used as an alternative to the bandoneon.

Reviews
Diese 18-minütige Psalmvertonung ist eine schöne und zugleich überraschende Bereicherung der Chorarbeit und jedes orchestergestützten Kantatenprogramms.

Das (…) Stück in lateinischer Sprache lebt von wirkungsvollen Gegensätzen und seiner raffinierten tangoaffinen Instrumentierung (...).
