Performed by the Waynflete Singers, Winchester Cathedral Choir and Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra
Vaughan Williams chose verses 1,2,5-8 (in the King James Version numbering) from Psalm 47, a psalm calling to exalt God as the King of "all the earth" with hands, voices and instruments. The Hebrew original mentions the shofar, which is given as trumpet in English.
He set the text in one movement in B-flat major, marked Allegro. He scored it for a four-part choir, organ, brass, and percussion, but also made a version for orchestra and an organ version. The music begins with brass fanfares. A jubilant first section is followed by an introspective middle section. The conclusion is a triumphant climax, repeating the words "Sing praises unto our King, sing praises."
