@rickydraper I think we are talking about different things! If you are talking about the text, then 'arrangement' is probably not the best word to use since, in music, 'arranging' is defined as "the art of preparing and adapting an already written composition...". For example, a composer might shorten, lengthen or change the harmonies of something already composed...but that is not the case here. Was I clearer this time round? ;)

@estibin Thank you for the correction; however, this text is strictly Biblical (Psalms 117), in other words, a Sacred text. This text has certainly been set by other composers (see Mozart KV. 339 No. 5, Vivaldi Op. 109 No. 3, and many other "Laudate Dominum" settings of lesser importance).
Trust me, I am not at all trying to diminish the importance of this setting, but it is just that, a text-setting... i.e. an arrangement of a Sacred Latin text

@rickydraper Erm...it's not an 'arrangement', it's a composition! There's no original version of 'Laudate' to make arrangements of....

we sing this in the Fairfield High Preparatory School Concert Choir...love this song
-
not a big fan...their tone was a tad immature and young and vowels were a bit spread. Some parts weren't as dissonant as Nystedt had intended and were a little off. Sopranos were shrill...that is when they were actually heard over the men.

i am the first to comment on this one, i like the dynamic contrast but it seemed the parts were out of sync with each other?

This piece use a musical resource call counterpoint -search the meaning in Wikipedia. In this case, there are two phase out voice flows.
