About This Piece
"Laudate!" is a celebratory work of excitement and praise. After its boisterous opening, the energy of the song takes off with differing motifs and rhythmic figures in each voice before the chorus unites in large, harmonic textures. The anticipation builds again before returning to the polyphonic section from before. The work slightly slows down, while maintaining its energetic spirit, creating polychordal harmonies. The uptempo energy comes back once more and builds through the key change and rollicking finale (similar to the beginning). Each voice section gets featured in this work, and would be a great opener at your next concert. This work is suitable for advanced high school, collegiate, and community choruses.

Laudate Dominum omnes gentes; Laudate eum, omnes populi, Quoniam confirmata est Super nos misericordia eius, Et veritas Domini manet in aeternum. Gloria Patri et Filio et Spiritui Sancto, Sicut erat in principio, et nunc, et semper, Et in saecula saeculorum. Amen. Translation Praise the Lord all ye nations; Praise Him, all ye people, For He has bestowed His mercy upon us, And the truth of the Lord endures forever. Glory to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit, As it was in the beginning, is now, and forever, And for generations of generations. Amen. -From Psalm 117 and Gloria Patri
