Par HOLST GUSTAV. A tremendous setting of Psalm 148, for Upper Voices (SSAA), Unison Chorus and Organ (or Piano), by Gustav Holst./ Répertoire / SSA

Let all the world in every corner sing was commissioned by Colston's Girls' School in Bristol for the Chamber Choir and their Director of Music Matthew Redman, and was written in August 2008 for the service to mark the school's acquisition of Academy status. It is a tour-de-force for upper voices - the organ introduction leads to a tapestry of rich variety, climaxing with the choir splitting into four parts for the antiphonal cries against the full organ. The music is highly rhythmic throughout, its time changes dictated by the rhythm and stress of the text. / Choeur SSAA Et Orgue
