This Is the Day

This uplifting call to praise is an effervescent song of joy that recalls the style and sounds of the classical era. Scored for voices, keyboard and two flutes, it eloquently captures the spirit of Psalm 118:24 with a delicate color and outstanding craftsmanship. The contrasting middle section is particularly effective with its chain suspensions and an exhilarating accelerando back to the festive opening theme. Very nicely done!
