About this arrangement

Alto, Mixed choir (SATB), Piano SKU: BA.BA11309-91 Composed by Camille Saint-Saens. Edited by Christina M. Stahl. Paperback. Choral score. 8 pages. Baerenreiter Verlag #BA11309-91. Published by Baerenreiter Verlag (BA.BA11309-91). ISBN 9790006569182. 10.63 x 7.48 inches. Text Language: English. 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 and a much later version in English for alto solo, SATB choir and piano – are now available for the first time in Urtext performing editions taking a meticulous account of all the sources.
