The Lord's My Shepherd (Psalm 23)
By Stuart Townend, Arranged for Wind Quintet by Hugh Levey

This arrangement is an instrumental version but a vocal leadsheet has been included so that it can also be used to accompany singers.

Psalm 23 is one of the most loved Christian hymns. It first appeared as an authorised part of formal praise in the Scottish Psalter of 1650 and remains in the hymn books of most Christian churches today. However, in 1996 contemporary hymn writer and musician Stuart Townend was inspired by the meaning of the words to create his own tune and modern text. Townend's version has also become extremely popular.

In this Wind Quintet, each verse is arranged differently so that it provides sufficient musical interest as an instrumental recital piece, or for accompanying weddings and funerals. However, it is equally suited to worship and church settings. An optional lead vocal sheet with chord symbols is included. 

A separate Flexible Ensemble Worship set is also available, with instrumental parts in Bb, C, Eb and F, and in Treble, Alto and Bass clefs. Full score, short score and vocal lead sheet with chord symbols are also provided with the Worship set. All proceeds of the Worship set go to charity.
