Fontes et omnia

For services during the Easter season, this joyful setting of a psalm verse is sung in Latin. It is a celebratory antiphon, originally from the monastic breviary, where it would have been sung at Vespers. The text calls upon all creation to sing God's praise, specifically mentioning waters and all moving things within them. Lambardi's SATB arrangement captures this expansive, jubilant mood, with the choir calling out "Sing a hymn to God, alleluia." It is a fitting piece for a choir to programme for its uplifting and exultant message.
