LITURGICAL ANTHEMS
L Exsultate! Jubilate!—Kyle Pederson. This
unique setting pairs the iconic Latin text with a new,
original English text which responds to the question:
Why do we rejoice and shout our praises to God? The
music captures the energy, rhythm, and exuberance
inherent in the phrases "exsultate Deo" and "jubilate
Deo," but also reflects the quiet joys found in
gratitude for the daily gifts of breath and light. The
piano accompaniment is rhythmic and lively.

movement honors those we have lost in mass
shootings. Lux Aeterna means "eternal light", but

highlighted by a soprano solo.
