Let All The Angels Of God Worship Him

“Let all the Angels of God worship Him” is a majestic, fast-paced chorus that bursts with joyful energy. Originally part of a larger classical oratorio, it is a thrilling piece for a choir to tackle, full of bright, overlapping vocal entries that build a wall of glorious sound. The preceding recitative, “Unto which of the Angels said He at any time,” sets the stage with a moment of quiet, narrative anticipation led by the tenor, before the full choir erupts into the lively allegro section.

In the choir loft, mastering this piece is a rewarding challenge. The tonic sol-fa notation guides the singers through the intricate, weaving lines where the sopranos, altos, tenors, and basses echo and chase each other with the phrase “Let all the angels of God.” It requires crisp diction and a light, energetic bounce to keep the momentum moving forward without dragging.

When performed during a grand concert, a feast day, or a special choral celebration, this chorus never fails to uplift the congregation. The sheer repetition of the command to worship creates a sense of heavenly celebration right inside the church, reminding everyone listening of the majesty of God and the joyful duty of all creation to offer praise.
