A jubilant main theme in 6/8 sweeps this psalm-like text along with great celebration and power. Antiphonal techniques between the voices provide sonic choreography, and the glorious contrapuntal transition into a statement of Joyful, Joyful We Adore Thee is truly inspiring. With the general nature of the text, this is not only very useful for sanctuaries, but there is much to explore here for festival choirs, as well. Excellent!
