This offering from the pen of Mary McDonald, based on Psalm 30 sparkles with energy from beginning to end. The driving rhythms that begin the piece give way to a slightly more legato section and then, return to a triumphant closing section that builds in intensity to its final cadence. An optional orchestral score is available for purchase, but whether accompaniment with piano alone, or orchestra, this offering is certain to be an exciting addition to your choir's repertoire.

Mary's composition brings the Psalm 30 scripture to life in a number of ways. There is variety and color in this anthem that captures the imagination and expresses great joy. Not just every choir can sing it with the power and energy it deserves, but those who can will find the piece to be happily useful in any number of settings. This needs to part of your student choir's and adult choir's repertoire.
