About "J. Davy: Psalm 47 "Omnes gentes, plaudite"" by John Scott
J. Davy's Psalm 47 is a clap of hands, the choir's rhythm sharp and exultant. The tension is in the sheer force of praise—a calm, regal melody pushed to the edge of shouting. The organ's trumpets are implied in the voices' bright fanfare, a celebration that feels almost dangerous in its intensity.
