John Rutter

Psalm 150

For SATB choir and SSS soli or semi-chorus, with organ OR brass ensemble (4tpt, 3tbn, tba), timpani, percussion (1 or 2 players), and organ or full orchestra.

An exuberant festival psalm setting, commissioned for the Golden Jubilee service in June 2002 and first performed in St Paul's Cathedral. The sense of celebration and dancing rhythms of the main choir contrast with the reflective, ethereal sections for the three solo sopranos, positioned in the dome at the first performance, to create a work of great effect and power. Material for both accompaniments is available on hire.
