About All people, clap your hands
Thomas Weelkes composed this vibrant anthem for SAATB voices. Setting an English text, it is a jubilant and energetic setting of Psalm 47, exalting God with a call for all people to clap their hands and sing praises. The music reflects the text's joyous message, urging congregants to rejoice in the Lord with a joyful noise, accompanied by instruments. The composer's skillful handling of the five-part choir, particularly the interplay between the different voice parts, creates a rich and celebratory sound, perfect for a festive occasion.
