Certainly not a new piece, O sing joyfully by Adrian Batten (1591-1637) is still worthy of performance. Its uplifting and buoyant qualities make it a great opener for any concert. It is a wonderful introduction to the polyphonic style, especially given its English text and mostly syllabic setting. For unaccompanied choir, this piece will develop independent singing, sense of line, and sensitivity to text.
