Ashburnham by Jacob Kimball — Lyrics
Alleluja. Cantate Domino canticum novum;
laus ejus in ecclesia sanctorum.
Laetetur Israël in eo qui fecit eum,
et filii Sion exsultent in rege suo.
Laudent nomen ejus in choro;
in tympano et psalterio psallant ei.
Quia beneplacitum est Domino in populo suo,
et exaltabit mansuetos in salutem.
Exsultabunt sancti in gloria;

About Ashburnham
This setting of a psalm text, sung in Latin and English, opens with a jubilant "Alleluja" and a call to "Sing unto the Lord a new song." The music reflects the text's exultant spirit, celebrating God's people and their king. The SATB voicing allows for rich harmonic textures and dynamic contrasts, ideal for conveying the text's messages of joy, praise, and divine judgment. The composer Jacob Kimball crafts a sacred work that builds in intensity, offering a powerful musical experience rooted in scriptural celebration and devotion, suitable for a dedicated choral performance.
