O Clap Your Hands -Orlando Gibbons
Gibbons’ setting of Psalm 47, for double choir, is dramatic and majestic, a contrapuntal masterpiece. Its relentless rhythmic drive and dramatic exchanges between the various vocal groupings – such as the shouts of joy at ‘O sing praises’ – create an infectious sense of exuberance.
