Praise ye the Lord is celebratory anthem of the vivid setting of Psalm 148, composed by Jonathan Harvey for a mixed voices choir and organ accompaniment. It is full of rhythmic drive and exuberant choral writing. Along with other important works, it demonstrates Harvey's reputation as one of the world's foremost contemporary choral composers.
'This anthem demonstrates Harvey's skill in writing a contemporary idiom without requiring vocal pyrotechnics...The choral writing is predominantly homophonic and mirrors the descriptive text vividly, and the organ writing is rich and exciting...'     Alan Bullard, Choir & Organ February 1995
