This work is a setting of Psalm 80 ("Restore Us, O God") as paraphrased in 1673 by John Milton. The text is used frequently in the season of Advent (on the First Sunday), or would also be appropriate for Good Shepherd Sunday in the Season of Easter. The majestic work was commissioned for performance on a day when new tapestries and paraments were dedicated for use in a parish and the music is knit together with a commanding viola part (with alternates for violin or cello).
The instrumental part is available as a free PDF download from the Zimbel website (http://www.zimbel.com/).
