Description
Laudate, pueri (Psalm 113, in the Vulgate Psalm 112) is the first psalm of the so-called Great Hallel. A psalm of praise that has often been set to music in music history. The present work owes its existence to the idea of recomposing the Psalms from Claudio Monteverdi's Vespers of the Virgin Mary. So far, however, it has remained the only psalm that has been carried out. The premiere of the first part took place at the 2nd European Choral Forum of Young Composers in Ochsenhausen in 2010 by the Orpheus Vocal Ensemble under the direction of Lone Larsen.
