Whitbourn, James - Alleluia Jubilate

For SATB chorus and Organ, commissioned for the Choir Schools’ Association conference 2008, originally for upper voices.


'With Latin words from Psalm 66 (the translation is at the top of the score!) the livelyandrhythmic setting of Jubilate Deo by James Whitbourn for SATB would thrill any choir especially a school choir, and indeed this is an adaptation of the setting the composer made in 2008 for upper voices, written for theChoirSchools’ Association. Rhythmic, yet with straightforward harmonies and a lively organ accompaniment, there is enough challenge to keep the interest of singers and a nimble fingered organist under a competent conductor.Thisexciting piece will thrill the singers and audience!'
