A Festive Psalm

SKU: HP.2411

UPC: 763628124113.

Original Composition This festive, original composition from Hart Morris is a celebrative piece that makes extensive use of mart-lift and mallets throughout. Though the middle section calms somewhat, the tempo does not change as the more mellow sounds of handchimes enter, surrounded by brief mallet and thumb damp passages. This segment ends with a return of the opening theme (in a different key), played in one clef, answered in the other, building to a big finish.

Uses: General, Pentecost

Scripture: Psalm 134; Matthew 24:26

For choirs seeking a challenge, this anthem offers scope and power. Thick divided chords offer a sonorous depth to the timbre of the anthem, and the mixed meter characteristics of the rhythmic writing delivers a festive energy worthy of the finest ensembles. The final section springs forth with a rustic abandon concluding with antiphonal pyrotechnics that takes the anthem to dizzying heights!

Bob Moore’s volume includes three settings for trumpet and piano. “Flourish–Psalm 33” is a joyful, stately fanfare that is perfect for a prelude or postlude. “Aria–Psalm 9” explores the legato side of the trumpet. “Rondo–Psalm 150” consists of a lyrical theme surrounded by a festive theme.    .

Bruckner described his setting of Psalm 150 of 1892 as my best festive cantata of all. Psalm 150 has a definite festive character, manifested straight away in the monumental Hallelujah theme for the full forces which opens the cantata, and which punctuates the work and concludes it. Bruckner devotes most of his music to the verse Alles was Odem hat, lobe den Herrn - firstly in an exciting section with solo violin and solo soprano, and subsequently in a great fugue on a striking octave theme. All in all, a fascinating combination of filigree motifs, chromatically bold complexities and intensifications, and powerful passages up to triple forte. The chorus is often divided in the homophonic passages, with wide vocal ranges, but the fugue remains in four parts.With a duration of just 9 minutes, this is an ideal companion piece for other shorter works by Bruckner (such as the Te Deum) or, indeed, works by other composers.

Fr. Jim Chepponis was commissioned to write a festive setting of Psalm 19 for the dedication of Christ Cathedral in Orange County, CA, in 2019. The result is what we've come to expect from this veteran composer. The optional instrumentation for flute, oboe, brass quintet, percussion, organ, and strings is perfect for a festive liturgy but can also be pared down for other occasions. The alternate refrains and different sets of verses make it work at multiple liturgies at which Psalm 19 is appointed. Both assembly and choral writing is very singable. The icing on the cake is that it can be done in English, Spanish, or a combination of the two.
