Episode Synopsis

Welcome to Anthem 17 in my attempt to write a new choir anthem every week for a year. I’m Kevin Mulryne and I hope you will enjoy listening to my progress throughout 2024. Please do visit the website Anthem52.com, follow along on x.com - @realanthem52 or Instagram - @realanthem52 and send me a message to [email protected]. Everything has been much more positive this week. I have had a go at composing another 'Shakespeare Anthem', in the general tradition of fast, joyful pieces. Strangely, I can't remember exactly how I decided on using verses from Psalm cxlviii (148) but the theme of praise seems to have been a productive one. Words for Anthem 17: O praise the Lord of heaven : praise him in the height. Praise him, all ye angels of his : praise him, all his host. Praise him, sun and moon : praise him, all ye stars and light. Let them praise the Name of the Lord : for he spake the word, and they were made; he commanded, and they were created.
