Sing Joyfully
William Byrd (ca. 1539/40 - 1623)
Sing joyfully unto God our strength.
Sing loud unto the God of Jacob.
Take the song, and bring forth the timbrel,
the pleasant harp and the viol.
Blow the trumpet in the new moon,
ev'n in the time appointed,
and at our feast day.
For this is a statue for Israel,
and a law of the God of Jacob.
— Psalm 81
“Sing Joyfully" was performed by the Houston Chamber Choir and conducted by Alexander Blachly at the 2017-2018 season's “Mind Craft.”
