PRAISE THE LORD (Sleeth)

Composer: Natalie Sleeth

PRAISE THE LORD is a stirring tune in rounded bar form (AABA). It may be sung in unison throughout or, as is true with so many of Sleeth's compositions, as a two-part round. The keyboard extension should be played each time the hymn is sung in canon. The accompaniment, preferably on piano, should preserve the light texture of this tune. Try to emphasize the outer parts, perhaps by using several soprano instruments and string bass or bass guitar in addition to keyboard. Keep the energy of this music quite lively.
