Christopher Smart was an eighteenth century poet, deeply religious, but of a strange and unbalanced mind. He wrote "Rejoice in the Lamb" while in an asylum. The poem is in chaotic form, but contains many flashes of brilliance. The main theme of the poem, and that [ f the Cantata, is the ~orship of God, by all created beings and things, each in its own way. The Cantata 1s comprised of ten short sections. The first sets the theme. The second gives a few examples of one person after another being summoned from the pages of the Old 11 Testament to join with some creature in praising and rejoicing in God: The third is a quiet and ecstatic Hallelujah. In the fourth section Smart takes his beloved cat as an example of nature praising God by being simply what the Creator intended it to be. The same thought is carried on in the fifth section with the illustration of the mouse. The sixth section speaks of the fl flowers-"the poetry of Christ". In the seventh section Smart refers to his troubles and suffering, but even these are an occasion for praising God, for it is through Christ that he will find his deliverance. The eight section gives four letters from an alphabet, leading to a full ,1chorus in section nine which speaks of musical instruments and music's praise of God. The final section repeats the Hallelujah. • notes by Walter Hussey I Chorus: · Rejoice in God, 0 ye Tongues; give the glory to the Lord, and the Lamb. Nations, and languages, and every Creature, in which is the breath of Life. Let man and best appear before him and magnify his name together. fl Let Nimrod, the mighty hunter, bind a Leopard to the altar, and consecrate his spear to the Lord. Let Ishmael dedicate a Tyger, and give praise for the liberty in which the Lord · Has let him at large. Let Balaam appear with an Ass, and bless the Lord his people and his creatures i For a reward eternal. · . Let Daniel come forth with a Lion, and praise God with all his might through Faith in Christ Jesus. Let lthamar minister with a Chamois, and bless the name of Him, that cloatheth I The naked. I . Let Jakim with the Satyr bless God in the dance., Let David bless the Bear-The beginning of victory to the Lord-to the Lord I The _perfection of excellence-Hallelujah from the heart of God, and from the hand of the artist [ inimitable, and from the echo of the heavenly harp in sweetness magnifical and mighty. . ' T rcblc Solo: I For I will consider my Cat Jeoffrey. For he is the servant of the Living God, duly and daily serving him. , For at the first glance of the glory of God in the East he worships in his way. For this is done by wreathing his body seven times round with elegant quickness. )I For he knows that God is his Saviour. ~ For God has blessed him in the variety of his movements. For there is nothing sweeter than his peace when at rest. For I am possessed of a cat, surpassing in beauty, from whom I take occasion to bless [I Almighty God. Alto Solo: For the Mouse is a Creature of great personal valour. For-this is a true case-Cat takes female mouse-male mouse will not depart, But stands threat'ning and daring. . .. .. . If you will let her go, I will engage you, as prodigious a creature as you arc . For the Mouse is a creature of great personal valour. 111 I I For the Mouse is of an hospitable disposition . Tenor Solo: For the flowers are great blessings. For the flowers have their angels even the words of God's Creation. For the flower glorifies God and the root parries the adversary. For there is a language of flowers . I I For flowers are peculiarly the poetry of Christ. Chorus: For I am under the same accusation with my Saviour-For the said, he is besides himself. I For the officers of the peace arc at variance with me, and the watchman smites me with his staf; For Silly fellow! Silly fellow! ls against me and belongeth neither to me nor to my family. For I am in twelve HARDSHIPS, but he that was born of a virgin shall deliver me out of all.

For this time is perceptible to man by a remarkable stillness and serenity of soul. For at that time malignity ceases and the devils themselves are at peace. ,_1 Chorus: Hallelujah from the heart of God, and from the hand of the artist inimitable, and from the echo I of the heavenly harp in sweetness magnifical and mighty. 1 I I I I I I :1 I I I Cathy Bennett Cristina Bueno * Katie Floeter Christin Keyes Kassy Krause Emily Marcantonio Leah McCray Kimberly Owens Molly Scanlon Shaina Sedder Katie Strosahl-Johnson Alto Kristina Belgio Jessica Griffin Melissa Hueneburg Morgan Joyce Lauren Kramer Aubrey Malito Kathryn Martens Molly Nixon Nika Plattos * Arlene Siagian + Kelly Snyder Rachel Ventress • Denotes section leader + M.M. in conducting Tenor Mike Brown Shannon Carey N'iall Casserly+ Terry Cole Clinton Desmond*+ Andrew Fisher Scott Guerrero Andy Hillier Jay Sanders {)ass Adam Bellows Ryan Bennett Brian Birch Tristan Hansen .
