About MAKE A JOYFUL NOISE UNTO THE LORD
"Make a Joyful Noise Unto the Lord" is a vibrant choral anthem setting of Psalm 100. With its lively tempo and staggered vocal entries, it captures the exuberance of a congregation called to worship. The piece is a wonderful choice for choirs looking to open a service or a special celebration with a true sense of majesty.
The text moves through the familiar verses of the psalm, inviting all lands to "serve the Lord with gladness" and "come before His presence with singing." As the anthem progresses, the voices weave together in joyful harmony, building up to the grand declaration that "the Lord is good" and His truth endures to all generations.
Because of its triumphant call to enter God's gates with thanksgiving, this piece is perfectly suited as an Entrance song or an opening anthem for festive Masses and feast days. It takes some rehearsal to master the overlapping parts and polyphonic entries, but the result is a glorious sound that lifts the hearts of everyone in the pews.
