This is an exploration into the life of David, the shepherd boy turned king, emphasizing his deep connection with music and poetry. Set against the backdrop of ancient Israel, this musical odyssey commences with David's youthful days, tending his flock, where he first finds solace and expression through his harp and voice. It continues as David is anointed, in secret, by the prophet Samuel and then is commissioned to play music to soothe the troubled soul of Israel’s king, Saul.
