Jubilate - William Morris |
|
This setting of the Jubilate (in English) is a festive, upbeat rendition of the familiar psalm. It begins with dance-like latin rhythms and is flavoured with blues notes and swift modulations. It is a challenging but rewarding work, and has been performed by the City of London Chamber Choir under the baton of Christopher Field at St Peter's Church, Hammersmith.
If you can't see the score in the panel below, you can get the Sibelius Scorch plug-in here. Created using Sibelius. Remember that the quality of the midi playback is necessarily limited, and that the score here appears more jagged than the printed version.
