The oratorio was first performed in Manchester CaThedral in 1994. This psalm forms The climax of The whole cantata and provides an expression of optimism after The tragedies of The previous sections. In this “extracted” version, The tragic surroundings of The history remain in The background and The purebubbling joy of The psalm itself shines forth. Enjoy The complex rhythms and let your hair down! This performance by Daniel Shaw's Composer's Choir (based in Connecticut) is a brilliant rendition of The piece and will, I hope, encourage oTher church choirs and concert choirs to consider including it in Their repertoire.  less

So I decided to have a go at performing some of his works.They are in a style that I’ve not sung for over 20 years (evangelical church choir), but The old fervour still comes out in The performance: I was transported back to those good old days as I sang.

The piece builds to climax at "For Thine is The Power and Glory forever!" and ends reflectively, savoring The "Amen". The COMPOSER: Composer Vijay Singh is Professor in The music department at Central Washington University. This video is from a concert presented on The CWU Campus.in May, 2014 entitled: “The CWU Choirs and Friends sing songs of Singh” In that concert, 28 of Singh’s pieces were performed by 6 choirs, including two invited guest high school choirs.
