Set for cantor, assembly, and 2-part choir, this psalm for Mass at Midnight sparkles with a bell-like quality. The lovely flute obbligato can be underscored by optional string quartet. The composer cleverly yokes this lilting, singable refrain with Psalm 118 for the Easter responsorial psalm published separately(G-6543).
