Adapted from No. 29
of THE CREATION, this fast-moving little piece has lots of
rhythmic and harmonic interest in the accompaniment while the
voices sing steady, easy lines above it.
The 2/4 moves along
well, giving a brightness to a good concert opener or
introduction to the Classic style.
We've applied a
generic text which works for school and/or church choir.
Rehearsal part-reduction score available for
accompanist.
See score information at bottom of this page.
TEXT
The earth and heavens
celebrate! Creation sings forevermore!
The rocks and rivers clap their hands. The stars above with joy
explode!
The sky comes alive!
The mountains and the valleys sing! The earth comes alive with
song! Hear the song!
The earth and heavens celebrate with songs of joy!
