Break forth into joy

Caleb Simper's anthem Break forth into joy is a stirring setting of a powerful biblical text, drawing on the prophecies of Isaiah. The words speak of restoration and redemption, with the Lord comforting and redeeming his people, and making his salvation known to all nations. This SATB arrangement brings the exultant message to life with rich harmonies and an uplifting choral texture. The English lyrics provide a clear and direct expression of divine promise, making it an accessible yet profoundly moving choice for choirs seeking a congregational anthem or a substantial offering for a service. It offers ample opportunity for expressive singing and builds to a triumphant conclusion.
