Sing Ye a Joyful Song
Ann MacDonald Diers
A large festival anthem based on Psalms 68, 57, and 47 with brass and organ. The verses are characterized distinctively with a cappela writing, commentary from brass and a supportive organ part. Ends in the famous “O Clap your Hands” text with a joyful final “Alleluia.”

The text is drawn from Psalms 68, 57, and 47. There are many tempo changes as the mood shifts. The closing section is a celebrative and at times contrapuntal Alleluia. The brass quartet often plays antiphonally with the organ as it accompanies the choir; the choral music is usually more challenging than the accompaniment.
