Performance Notes Psalm 65 is the psalm for the 15th Sunday in Ordinary Time, year ; it is also appropriate for Thanksgiving, graduation, and evangelization. 9 The optional Descant may be used on any Refrain after Verse 1. Selected sopranos (one or two, at most) will work best. The solo instrument part really adds a great deal, especially at the end of the Verses; it s intended to reinforce the feeling of the text. The overall tone of is one of joyous, wondering thanksgiving. Give the triplets adequate emphasis. MDR
