By the rivers of Babylon (Choral Score)

Saint-Saëns, By the rivers of Babylon (Choral Score)
The choral score contains no piano reduction

Psalm 137 "Super flumina Babylonis" also known as "By the rivers of Babylon" was an inspiration for many composers including Camille Saint-Saëns.  He repeatedly occupied himself with his psalm motet for solo soprano, mixed choir, saxophone quartet, string orchestra and organ, originally composed in 1854. 

Two of the four versions – the first version in Latin (BA11305) and a much later version in English for alto solo, SATB choir and piano presented here – are now available for the first time in Urtext performing editions taking a meticulous account of all the sources.
