Winner of the Debbie Fleming Prize for Choral Composition.
First performed by the Toronto Mendelssohn Choir (Jennifer Min-Young Lee, cond.) with Michael Bloss, organ, in January 2016.
Originally from the Wedding Cantata, this anthem for SATB choir has been extracted as a stand-alone concert work. The Latin text for Psalm 100, "Jubilate Deo," is expressed through a fluid and passionate setting, supported by an unending stream of sixteenth-note figures and athletic pedal-work in the organ accompaniment.

Full Text
O be joyful in the Lord, all ye lands:
Serve the LORD with gladness,
and come before his presence with a song.
Be ye sure that the LORD he is God;
it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves;
we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.
O go your way into his gates with thanksgiving,
and into his courts with praise;
be thankful unto him,
and speak good of his Name.
For the Lord is gracious,
his mercy is everlasting; and his truth
endureth from generation to generation.
Jubilate Deo, omnis terra:
servite Domino in laetitia.
Introite in conspectu eius, in exultatione.
Scitote quoniam Dominus ipse est Deus:
ipse fecit nos, et non ipsi nos:
populus eius, et oves pascuae eius:
introite portas eius in confessione,
atria eius in hymnis:
confitemini illi.
Laudate nomen eius:
quoniam suavis est Dominus,
in aeternum misericordia eius, et usque
in generationem et generationem veritas eius.
