This lilting anthem of unbridled joy serves a dual purpose. From the best-selling Christmas cantata, MorningStar, the text recalls the words from Isaiah anticipating the coming of the Messiah. Yet, the language is alsoappropriate for Palm Sunday, Resurrection Sunday, or Eastertide as it triumphantly proclaims Christ as King and his victory over sin and death. The choral includes text appropriate for Palm Sunday and Advent, making this anthem anexceeding value. The melody is infectious, as is the feeling of overwhelming happiness this anthem invokes. 'Rejoice, Rejoice, Ye People' is a must for your library.
