ISBN 9781491134931. UPC: 680160685882. Psalm 117.
Hailstork’s exhilarating addition to the Psalm 117 repertoire draws inspiration from his elegant blend of traditional choral writing, with a spiritual-like melody in the Basses, and a tinge of Gospel fervor. The excitement of irregular meter, and independent part-writing with divisi chords, make O PRAISE THE LORD a perfect concert work for college, community, and advanced high school choirs to rise up to a challenge that is easily attained. Only Hailstork’s magical artistry could spawn such a psalm setting in a minor key that is fully uplifting to sing and hear.

Choral literature played a major role in Adolphus Hailstork’s early inspirations, as he grew up singing in choirs. While in college, he created this beautifully plaintive madrigal, setting the words of Orlando Gibbons’ familiar “The Silver Swan.†The result is a strikingly powerful new setting, a perfect partner to the iconic work from the Renaissance, and an early glimpse of Hailstork’s magnificent career filled with choral and vocal music. THE SILVER SWAN is in a traditional tonal language and scored for a cappella S.A.T.B. chorus without divisi, making it easily within reach of choirs of all levels.
