English. Text source: Psalm 98. Text by Isaac Watts. Scripture: Psalm 98.
A flexible concertato that can be performed with or without brass, with or without choir (using the arrangement that accompanies the unison carol), and with the assembly singing on any or all of the stanzas.
All that said, each stanza has a unique choral treatment that lends high festivity to the singing of this carol.
A wonderfully energetic concertato setting. |
