Boudewijn Tarenskeen – Psalm 151

To BoudewijnTarenskeen, it almost seemed impertinent: asking writers for an ‘appendix to David’s oeuvre’. The 150 psalms of the Bible, often attributed to King David, sing about human suffering and desire. They originate from the Old Testament, exclusively address themselves to God, and have been performed in churches for as long as 25 centuries. Even so, the writers agreed, between hunger and fear.
