Description
Jubilate Deo (2012, revised 2026) is an exuberant setting of Psalm 100 and the Gloria Patri, drawing on the text of the Book of Common Prayer (1662).
The anthem opens with a bold choral proclamation, supported by broad organ harmonies that develop into lively, rhythmically driven figuration. A contrasting contemplative section allows the choral lines to unfold over gently shifting harmonies, before the opening energy returns. The music builds towards an expansive final ‘Amen’, with intertwining voices above animated organ writing.
Balancing rhythmic vitality with moments of lyrical stillness, Jubilate Deo is particularly suited to cathedral and church choirs, festival services and celebratory occasions.
Winner of the St Giles’ Cathedral Anthem Composition Competition, Edinburgh, 2012.
