Voicing: SATB, Piano with Optional Organ, Percussion, Brass Quintet
Mark Hayes, Composer
This energetic and powerful psalm setting shines with majesty as the fanfare-like motif is repeated and embellished. After a joyous opening praising God in His holy city, a contrasting legato section meditates on God's unfailing love before bursting into an antiphonal choral rejoicing and return of the opening. Optional instrumental parts add to its sparkling brilliance.
