The oratorio was first performed in Manchester Cathedral in 1994. This psalm forms the climax Of the whole cantata and provides an expression Of optimism after the tragedies Of the previous sections. In this “extracted” version, the tragic surroundings Of the history remain in the background and the purebubbling joy Of the psalm itself shines forth. Enjoy the complex rhythms and let your hair down! This performance by Daniel Shaw's Composer's Choir (based in Connecticut) is a brilliant rendition Of the piece and will, I hope, encourage other church choirs and concert choirs to consider including it in their repertoire.  less

Sing joyfully to God our strength; Sing loud unto the God Of Jacob! Take the Song, bring forth the timbrel, the pleasant harp, and the viol. Blow the trumpet in the new moon, even in the time appointed, and at our feast day. ...  moreSing joyfully to God our strength; Sing loud unto the God Of Jacob! Take the Song, bring forth the timbrel, the pleasant harp, and the viol. Blow the trumpet in the new moon, even in the time appointed, and at our feast day. For this is a statute for Israel, and a law Of the God Of Jacob. (From Psalm 81)
