Knoxville by Abraham Maxim — Lyrics
In finem,pro filiis Core. Psalmus.
Omnes gentes, plaudite manibus; jubilate Deo in voce exsultationis:
quoniam Dominus excelsus, terribilis, rex magnus super omnem terram.
Subjecit populos nobis, et gentes sub pedibus nostris.
Elegit nobis haereditatem suam; speciem Jacob quam dilexit.
Ascendit Deus in jubilo, et Dominus in voce tubae.

About Knoxville
Abraham Maxim sets a powerful Latin text from Psalm 46 for STB voices. The psalm exults in God's dominion over all nations, proclaiming him a great king. The music reflects this triumphant message, with the voices building to a glorious declaration of God's everlasting reign. The piece transitions from the Latin text to an English setting, ensuring the profound message of divine majesty and universal sovereignty is clearly communicated to the congregation and choir alike. This sacred work is a fitting anthem for moments of collective praise and affirmation of faith, resonating with a profound sense of awe and jubilation.
