Knock your listeners back in their seat. A loud, exciting opening in six parts gives way to energetic imitative episodes and a huge finish. Called “a great beginning-of-the-year piece” by Brad Holmes. An ideal concert opener.

Composer’s Notes

Written for the University of Nebraska Singers in 2010. Choirs should emphasize the contrast between the louder, robust homophonic sections and the smooth independent
lines in the middle of the piece.

Text

Awake, O harp and lyre!
I will awake the dawn!
I will sing and make melody
With all of my being.
My heart is steadfast, O God.
Be exalted, O God,
Above the heavens!
Let your glory be
over all the earth.

– Psalm 108
