From all that dwell below the skies

Thomas Attwood Walmisley’s setting of Praise the Lord, all ye nations is a confident and jubilant anthem, drawing on the rich tradition of English cathedral music. Set for SATB choir, this work opens with a powerful Latin text from Psalm 117, Alleluia. Laudate Dominum, omnes gentes, which translates to Praise the Lord, all ye nations. The composer then transitions to English for the remainder of the text, which reaffirms the enduring mercy and truth of God. Walmisley’s skill in crafting devotional music is evident throughout this piece, making it a suitable and inspiring choice for services and concerts alike. The blend of Latin and English adds a classic ecclesiastical dimension, reflecting a common practice in liturgical settings.
