Buxton by Daniel Belknap — Lyrics
Alleluja. Laudate Dominum de caelis; laudate eum in excelsis.
Laudate eum, omnes angeli ejus; laudate eum, omnes virtutes ejus.
Laudate eum, sol et luna; laudate eum, omnes stellae et lumen.
Laudate eum, caeli caelorum; et aquae omnes quae super caelos sunt,
laudent nomen Domini. Quia ipse dixit, et facta sunt; ipse mandavit,
et creata sunt.
Statuit ea in aeternum, et in saeculum saeculi; praeceptum posuit, et non praeteribit.
Laudate Dominum de terra, dracones et omnes abyssi;
ignis, grando, nix, glacies, spiritus procellarum, quae faciunt verbum ejus;

About Buxton
Daniel Belknap's Buxton is a joyful hymn setting, suitable for services of praise. The choir sings in a traditional STB voicing. The text, drawing from Psalm 148, opens with a resounding Alleluia and calls for all creation to praise God. It moves from heavenly hosts to earthly creatures, and even inanimate elements like mountains and stars, uniting them in a grand chorus of adoration. The composer alternates between Latin and English lyrics, creating a rich and layered devotional experience. This piece would be an excellent choice for a choir seeking a vibrant anthem that spans both the sacred and the uplifting.
