This joyful and richly expressive choral cantata is a setting of what is often thought of as a Thanksgiving psalm or a psalm in praise of Harvest time. From its atmospheric opening through to its upbeat ending, the work contrasts driving rhythms with quietly reflective passages for soprano solo. It can be performed with or without trumpet. Suitable for any celebratory occasion, Psalm 65 is a vibrant concert work and a great joy to sing.
