Jubilate Deo

"Jubilate Deo" is a vibrant, rhythmic setting of Psalm 100 by Peter Anglea. Right from the opening measures, the piece bursts with energy, calling all the earth to serve the Lord with gladness and come before His presence with singing. The driving, syncopated repetitions of the title phrase create a sense of overflowing joy that immediately lifts the spirit of the congregation.

In the choir loft, this piece is a fantastic choice for festive Entrance processions or as a rousing Recessional on major feast days. The middle section offers a warm contrast, with the women and men trading the lyrical lines of "Quoniam suavis est dominus," singing of the Lord's goodness and enduring mercy, before building back up into the energetic opening theme. It is an anthem that demands bright, forward singing and keeps everyone fully awake to the joy of worship.
