Planned as a kind of dithyramb and a hedonistic delight in music playing, the composition
Musicam psalite provides each musician with an opportunity to show their skills and dedication to the melody and rhythm. The string quartet, flute, clarinet, trumpet, piano, and percussion are a medium through which the musicians are supposed to convey this joint dedication to sound to the audience by means of the postmodernist structure of the composition lasting several minutes.
