With a text harkening back to the traditional Sanctus, this festive anthem of praise is equally accessible and effective with SATB or SAB choirs of any age. With its contrasting legato B section and subito pianos, the musical variety matches the rhythmic intensity throughout, almost singing itself to the rousing, declamatory climax.
