Psalm 112 in Music
Psalm 112 has been included in various places in Western Christian liturgy, especially in the context of vespers, and has been popular for musical settings, which are generally known by their opening words, Beatus vir. A database of psalm settings by Italian composers of the 17th and 18th centuries lists 81 settings of Psalm 112.[12]
Today probably the best known is Claudio Monteverdi‘s setting of 1640, SV 268, from his Selva morale e spirituale, also known as the Vespers of 1640. This piece is still often performed by itself, and has been described as “one of the most attractive and inspired settings of the Selva morale and one of the few sacred works of Monteverdi’s later years that has become widely known.”[13]

Your musical selections always are wonderful, but I’m sharing your site with an artist friend in Michigan. She does quite a bit of drawing and watercolor work, and I know she’ll enjoy seeing your entries.
