The Psalms Come to Life In Anne Coyle's "David and the Psalms."

Jacksonville composer Anne Coyle says that on April, 7, 2011 she was inspired to set all 150 psalms to music by writing one psalm per day - a task that would take about 5 months to complete.

She completed the task, but that wasn't the end of it! Anne has selected several of these psalms and combined them with drama, the San Jose Dancers, singing by the choir of San Jose Catholic Church, colorful banners, and an Ark of the Covenant procession. Anne says that the last piece was added to highlight the importance of the Levites in Hebrew worship.

Paul Burns helped with the writing of the script.

Anne has a tie to St. Mark's - she is the mother of John Coyle, a former member here.

When she reached her eighties, Anne's thinking was, "Well, it's about over." The Lord, she says, had other plans. She says she's in good company since Moses didn't start until he was 80. Read more about Anne's journey and hear some of her music at www.psalmbird.net.
