Shout For Joy

for SATB choir and piano

by Patrick O’Shea

“Shout For Joy” was composed for the undergraduate commencement exercises of Saint Mary’s University of Minnesota in May, 2003, and is dedicated to the graduating class of that year. The text, from Psalm 33, is suitable for a range of liturgical occasions, and the work is also effective as a concert piece. The energetic opening and closing sections are balanced by a more introspective central section, a portion of which may optionally be sung a cappella.
