Shout Praise, Shout Praise, O Israel

"Singing the psalms should sometimes be a lot of fun!" This text inspired by Psalm 100 is centered on the joy of Christ's presence in our midst. An energetic, spirited assembly song scored for SAB choir, descant, keyboard, guitar, and a raft of percussion instruments (congas, cabasa, claves, tambourine, and even cowbell), this piece is ideal as an entrance song and, with five verses, will be especially effective for liturgies with lengthy processionals.
