Purifoy, John: O Be Joyful to God!
Sing Jubilate Deo!
Chorstimmen
Scripture: Psalm 98, Psalm 100
This powerhouse anthem is full of energy and abandon. Repeating the phrase 'Sing Jubilate Deo!' in a call and response format, the Psalms spring to life inpunctuated shouts of praise. The 'seas roar' and the 'rocks cry out' in glorious acclamation. A contrasting moment surrenders the rhythmic drive for a more reflective theme. The addition of two trumpets lifts the work to atriumphal shout of jubilant worship! Bold!
