10 Composer Notes salm 121 is one of biblical Songs of Ascent, and is cast as a dialogue to evoke confidence in God Its strong insistence on mes of protection for ourney and of allaying fears for what lies ahead has encouraged its use in liturgy for dying Each of three verses of this psalm is set to its own melody The verses are given to various combinations of voices (cantor, choir parts) Atypical of most responsorial psalms, antiphon of this psalm is sung twice each time it appears When re is no choir available, a cantor may sing melody line of verses, and assembly sings antiphon only once each time Christopher Willcock I Lift Up Eyes to Mountains
