Psalm 100 is the 100th psalm in the Book of Psalms in the Tanakh. [1] In English, it is translated as "Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, all ye lands" in the King James Version (KJV), and as "O be joyful in the Lord, all ye lands" in the Book of Common Prayer (BCP).
Old 100th is commonly used to sing the lyrics that begin "All People That on Earth Do Dwell," Psalm 100, a version that originated in the Anglo-Genevan Psalter (1561) and is attributed to the Scottish clergyman William Kethe. [5] Kethe was in exile at Geneva at this time, as the Scottish Reformation was only just beginning.
Jauchzet dem Herrn, alle Welt ("Exult in the Lord, entire world" [1] or "Shout to the Lord" [2]), WoO. 28, is an anthem for choir a cappella, a setting of Psalm 100 in German composed by Felix Mendelssohn in 1844. It was published in 1855 after the composer's death.
Setting a psalm completely was familiar to him from older models, and he used it in his own settings of psalms in Latin in 1707, and in No. 1, setting the complete Psalm 100. He used the first method in setting Psalm 51, for example, in No. 3. [7] Handel perhaps composed the anthems in pairs, sometimes reusing older material. [1]
Later, perhaps in 1958, Philip requested that Britten compose a setting of Psalm 100 (Jubilate Deo) for St George's Chapel, Windsor Castle. [1] [2] The psalm is a regular part of Anglican morning prayer. [3] Britten completed the music in Aldeburgh in February 1961, [1] using the version of Psalm 100 found in the Book of Common Prayer.
The work was commissioned for the 1965 Southern Cathedrals Festival at Chichester Cathedral by the cathedral's Dean, Walter Hussey. [2] However, the world premiere took place in the Philharmonic Hall, New York, on 15 July 1965 with the composer conducting, followed by the performance at Chichester on July 31, 1965, conducted by the cathedral's Organist and Master of the Choristers, John Birch.
