for SATB div. choir and piano

“Sing for Joy” is a sacred concert piece bursting with energy and hope. Boykin builds tension with complex syncopation and hemiola which builds to a calm, prayerful section of homophony and legato. An exciting accompaniment ensures the singers are always supported but also that the collaborative pianists will shine. “Sing for Joy” would be a great closer and would pair well with other accompanied sacred works.

Text

Let all who take refuge in you be glad;
let them ever sing for joy.
Spread your protection over them,
that those who love your name may rejoice in you.

– Psalm 5:11
