Format : Vocal Score
Although the words come from the 19th century there is no question the music is of today. The opening tonal clusters from the choir accompanied by a rolling line and steady harmony in the piano create a mood of mystery. Praise rings forth exuberantly in salute of God's command of life and death however the music stays well-grounded in reality and the newness is engaging. An excellent church anthem general song of praise All Saints day or concert. Medium difficulty.

Based on Psalm 98:1-4, this ancient psalm of praise is redressed in modern classical sounds. Intertwined is the canonic melody from 19th century hymn-writer Lowell Mason, O Music. The combination honors music as the educational value Mason professed, along with praise to God for skillful singing the psalmist scribed. A great festival piece of general praise, optional handbell choir and children's choir add to the possibilities.
