Description:
Hailstork's exhilarating addition to the Psalm 117 repertoire draws inspiration from his elegant blend of traditional choral writing, with a spiritual-like melody in the Basses, and a tinge of Gospel fervor. The excitement of irregular meter, and independent part-writing with divisi chords, make O PRAISE THE LORD a perfect concert work for college, community, and advanced high school choirs to rise up to a challenge that is easily attained. Only Hailstork's magical artistry could spawn such a psalm setting in a minor key that is fully uplifting to sing and hear. The CD on Albany Records may be heard at https://youtu.be/ToZPf0vKe8k
