"Sing Unto the Lord a New Song" is a choral and orchestral work composed by Srul Irving Glick, a Canadian composer known for his Jewish-themed music. The piece was composed in 1986 and premiered on May 31, 1987, at the Beth Tzedec Synagogue in Toronto, Canada. The work is divided into three movements, each with its own distinct character and musical style. The first movement, "Sing Unto the Lord a New Song," is a joyful and celebratory piece that features a lively choral melody and a driving orchestral accompaniment. The second movement, "The Lord is My Shepherd," is a more contemplative and introspective piece that features a solo soprano voice and a gentle, flowing orchestral accompaniment. The final movement, "Hallelujah," is a triumphant and exultant piece that features a powerful choral melody and a grand orchestral accompaniment. Throughout the work, Glick employs a variety of musical techniques and styles to create a rich and diverse musical tapestry. He draws on traditional Jewish melodies and rhythms, as well as Western classical music traditions, to create a unique and compelling sound. The choral writing is particularly notable, with intricate harmonies and counterpoint that showcase Glick's skill as a composer. Overall, "Sing Unto the Lord a New Song" is a vibrant and uplifting work that celebrates the joy and beauty of music and faith. Its premiere was met with great acclaim, and it has since become a beloved piece in the choral and orchestral repertoire.
