O Praise God in His Holiness (Psalm 150) arranged by David Bednall for accompanied mixed voices.
This piece was commissioned by All Saints’ Church, Northampton and its Director, Edward Whitingand received its premiere in the Jean Langlais Festival 2006. The organ for this first performance had no playing aids and no line of sight to the conductor and so the style is antiphonal. The feeling throughout should be one ofgreat and highly rhythmic exuberance reflecting the spirit of this much loved psalm, with a more relaxed and gentle feel for the middle section.
This piece is from Faber's ChoralSignatureSeries which introduces a wealth of new or recently written choral music to choirs in search of fresh repertoire. the series draws in a rich diversity of living composers and includes both lighter and morechallenging contemporary works, offering a thrilling array of varied styles.
