Salmo 150 (Psalm 150) is a psalm setting by Ernani Aguiar. He wrote the composition, setting Psalm 150 in Latin for unaccompanied choir, in 1975. The short work was published by Earthsongs in the U.S. in 1993, and achieved international popularity.

History

Cesar Franck and Igor Stravinsky, and Benjamin Britten.[3]

The Brazilian composer Ernani Aguiar, who has been active also as conductor, professor, and musicologist, composed Salmo 150 in 1975 for choir a cappella, as a setting in Latin of Psalm 150,[4] beginning "Laudate Dominum in sanctis eius".[5] It was published by the U.S. publisher Earthsongs in 1993, edited by Maria Guinand,[5] in two versions, for mixed choir (SATB) and for high voices (SSA).[6] The work, which takes about 1 1/2 minutes to perform,[5] became one of Aguiar's most popular compositions, described as likely the most frequently performed choral work from Brazil in the U.S..[4]

Music

The composition in one movement is in 12/8 time and marked Allegro con brio.[7] The music has been described as rhythmic and energetic.[4][5]
