Sir James on Vaughn Williams’s O Clap Your Hands

Composer and Composition: Ralph Vaughn Williams (1872-1958) O Clap Your Hands (1920)

Sir James recalls the work of Vaughn Williams’s setting of Psalm 47 which incorporates organ, brass and percussion.  The “visceral” nature of this setting amplifies music’s ability to engage our bodies and ignite our souls for praise.
