Come Let Us Sing Unto The Lord”

James Varrick Armaah’s "Come Let Us Sing Unto The Lord" is a magnificent choral setting of Psalm 95, designed to lift the spirit of any congregation from the very first note. The piece opens with an inviting Alto solo, soon joined and expanded by the Tenor, calling the people to heartily rejoice. When the full choir finally enters, the music bursts into a vibrant, joyful noise, perfectly capturing the majesty of a "great King above all gods."

Choirmasters will find this anthem especially fitting for grand entrance processions, festive celebrations, or special choral concerts. The arrangement is dynamic, shifting from the exuberant opening into a more lyrical, flowing cantabile section as the choir reflects on God's creation—the corners of the earth, the strength of the hills, and the dry land formed by His hands.

Singing this piece requires good breath control and a bright, energetic tone, especially as the parts weave together toward the end. The final crescendo, where the choir repeatedly calls the assembly to "sing unto the Lord," leaves a lasting impression of triumph and praise. It is a wonderful addition to any choir's repertoire for feast days and moments of high thanksgiving.
