Customer Reviews of Chesky: Three Psalms For String Orchestra
PSALMTHING WORTH LISTENING TO In these beautiful, brooding, meditative pieces, much in the sound world of Gorecki (sans the almost unbearable sorrow), Schoenberg (particularly his "Transfigured Night") and Barber (the "Adagio"), yet with a tonal voice completely original and fresh, Chesky maintains a musical concentration that is powerfully hushed, revelatory and cathartic. I was completely taken in by the composer's mastery of form and orchestral mood when, in fact, I had expected absolutely the opposite. Until I listened, I thought I knew what I would hear. I didn't. <

>The surprise was elating. <
> <
>Psalm No. 1, my favorite, features solo violin, reticent and sorrowful throughout, and is a work of immense reflective beauty that grows more luminous with each hearing. This is truly a haunting piece whose intensity lies in its perfect subtlety. <
> <
>Psalm No. 2 features solo cello, using the instrument to "voice" prayerful laments intermittently. The rugged, yet contemplative, nature of the cello's scoring, integrated within the undulating orchestra, is exquisitely effective and moving. <
> <
>Psalm No. 3, for string orchestra alone, seems the apotheosis of the trilogy and is, again, a work of magnificent tranquility and sustained composure. <
> <
>These works, all written 1996-1997, prove that twentieth century music can be accessible, moving and beautiful without turning its back on the musical heritage from whence it stemmed. Kudos to Chesky for standing against the scourge of abrassive modernism and for composing with a real human heart. <

very introspective and spiritual
These three psalms are very dark neoromantic chromactic works
