Jubilate Deo
Jubilate Deo is a 50-minute, 7-movement work written by Dan Forrest and published by Hinshaw Music.
“Jubilate Deo brings to life the global aspect of the traditional Psalm 100 text, “O be joyful in the Lord, all ye lands,” by setting it in seven different languages and drawing from a wide spectrum of musical influences. Each movement combines characteristics of its language-group’s musical culture. Then the finale unites many of the key themes and cultures from previous movements with other material, both old and new, as all the earth sings as one, “omnis terra, jubilate!”
