The alternation of 5/4 and 6/4 meters adds interest to this lyrical tune. Two vocal parts alternate as well in the opening verses, adding the congregation and a descant for the final verse. Note that the last two measures ask for each vocal part to divide into dyads. A reproducible unison part (hymnal version) is included in the octavo.

This charming anthem is a great addition to your adult and/or children's two-part repertiore. The exuberant spirit of Psalm 150 inspires the simplicity of the song. The attractive, animated melody in the refrain is set in a two-part dialogue. The rhythm shifts slightly in the verses while still incorporating the choral interchange. Consider this for your combined-choir efforts. Performance of this work is a wonderful way to celebrate community and our shared individuality as the people of God.

From 1717 to 1718, Handel composed eleven multi-movement, psalm-based anthems, commonly known as the Chandos Anthems (he was resident composer for the First Duke of Chandos during this period). is setting of verses from Psalm 96 is drawn from Anthem 4b, “O Sing unto the Lord a New Song” (HWV 249b). Chepponis’ thoughtful editing and arranging of this gem—based on original sources, as well as practical considerations— make it accessible to many choirs that may not have the luxury of a large SATB choir.

This is a reflective piece to consider for later in the Palm Sunday liturgy. The refrain presents the image of children laying flowers before the King, the verses reflect on the vanity of life, but also on the constancy of the Word. The music seems to strike a happy medium between recalling the joyful procession and anticipating the doleful crucifixion. Oboe or other C Instrument.
