Opis

for SATB and organ O Be Joyful is a jubilant setting of Psalm 100 from the Book of Common Prayer. Suitable for performances throughout the church year, it features fluctuating time signatures, a lively tempo, and bright harmonies, which are underpinned throughout by a sparkling organ part.

Recenzje

This catchy and very useful Jubilate Deo is a valuable addition to libraries in need of canticles for Morning Prayer. Helvey's white-note style is sublimated into a Rutter-esque character, complete with memorable motifs, ebullient tunes, and asymmetrical rhythms that somehow sound perfectly predictable . . . this effective, attractive music will be a fine addition to any ensemble's repertoire.
