Ascribe to the Lord has been one of her most popular compositions and this arrangement for men's voices by her husband, William, will spread its popularity even further. A driving accompaniment and roaring musical lines bring a fresh wind to Psalm 29:1-4.

African-American poet Countee Cullen is the text source Rosephanye has chosen to set to music and one understands why when the words are read.

Rosephanye's music captures a flavor that respects the difficulties of her ethnic heritage. It is a wonderful and powerful statement in so many ways.
