Shout to the Lord with How Great Thou Art

Uses: General Praise Team Scripture: Psalm 8 - Psalm 98:4 - Psalm 47:1 The name says it all in this creative coupling of two of our most celebrated sacred songs. The character of the Almighty is declared in both of these favorites and in an achievable format that even the most numbers challenged choirs can feel good about. The piano part is of moderate difficulty and the anthem could even include a spontaneous inclusion of the congregation singing with the choir.

Written for unison or two-part mixed voices not only can any size choir experience great success in presenting “Sing to the Lord...” but it is an excellent choice for community services with combined choirs of varyingskills and for those inevitable emergency Sundays with low choir attendance. Use of organ contributes to the hearty directive to “Shout His praises ... Praise Him for life for rest and food.” First published over 20years ago just after Shawnee Press acquired the Harold Flammer catalog “Sing to the Lord a Joyful Song” continues to be a favorite with choral directors and ministers of music. If you missed it when first published or have entered the field of church music recently this staple for your library has proven itself over and over to be invaluable.

This major work is a seven-movement setting of Psalm 100 predominantly in Latin. Inserted within the work are interjections of the text 'Shout to the Lord all ye lands!' in eight different languages. The work may be performed entirely by an SATB choir or some or all of the treble choir options in the treble part may be used along with the SATB choir. Part-dominant rehearsal videos and pronunciation guides for the languages are available for free on the composer's website. There are three different orchestrations of the work available ranging from a large orchestration to a nine-instrument chamber version. This piece was commissioned by the IndianapolisChildren's Chorus to honor its distinguished conductor of 30 years Henry Leck. Seen by the composer as a partner composition to his Requiem for the Living Forrest's Jubilate Deo is a great addition to the repertoire. Highly recommended! 1. Jubilate Deo2. Ve adthdor vador3.
