A well-known text set by a veteran composer who knows how to make it singularly superior. The melody is immediately entrancing a middle section introduces a high church chant-like liturgical sound then the melody resumes andbrings us home. The passionate lyrics although from scripture make it appropriate for church and concert use.

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.
