Now Let the Heavens Be Joyful – Full Score
Glenn Wonacott
A large-scale anthem with brass quartet, tympani and organ on a text by an early church fater, John of Damascus. The anthem features a setting of the hymn-tune “Aurelia” that can be joined by congregation; the piece ends in great triumph with all voices and instruments.

The choral parts are on two staves with some divisi passages; however, there are considerable sections of unison singing. The organ part, at times somewhat busy, is on two staves and independent of the choir. The brass add a bravura style with lots of accents, fp chords, and a very dramatic Amen ending. Samuel Sebastian Wesley’s 1864 hymn tune AURELIA is used near the end, and the congregation joins the choir singing the melody. This will be an exciting anthem for Easter.
