“Maskil of David” sets an adaptation of Psalm 55, translated into English.  My adaptation of the psalm focuses more on the interpersonal than the divine, emphasizing his wish for solace.  Originally composed for SSA vocal ensemble Trio Eos in 2005;  these revised versions for mixed, treble, & lower voices chorus were published by  See-A-Dot Music Publishing in 2014.
