About the Composer: Sally K. Albrecht

Sally K. Albrecht

Sally K. Albrecht has shaped American choral music for more than thirty years through her prolific output as a composer and her influential role in educational music publishing. A recipient of the ASCAP Special Music Award annually since 1987, she has produced over 600 choral works alongside 75 larger musicals and songbooks for school and community choirs. Her career includes conducting honor choirs at prestigious venues including Lincoln Center, Carnegie Hall, and The Kennedy Center, and she has mentored generations of musicians through faculty positions at Oakland University, Jersey City State College, and Meredith College.

Albrecht holds degrees from Rollins College (B.A. in Music and Theater, 1976), the University of Miami (M.A. in Drama, 1977; M.M. in Accompanying, 1979), and spent over three decades leading choral and vocal publication initiatives at major educational publishers, most notably Alfred Music. Her contributions to the field have been recognized with the Distinguished Alumna Award from both the University of Miami Frost School of Music and Rollins College, where she serves on the Board of Trustees. She resides in North Carolina with her husband, composer and arranger Jay Althouse.

Why we love this

Albrecht designs this piece so the architectural elements do the teaching for you: the echoes help singers lock phrases in place, and the counterpoint section "Sing Jubilate Deo" creates natural musical interest without requiring a full three or four-part voicing. Your students will feel the rhythmic propulsion and joy without getting tangled in complexity.

What to expect

The piece radiates joy and purpose, opening with majestic rhythmic vitality before settling into the introspective counterpoint of "Sing Jubilate Deo." The echo effects create moments of call-and-response that feel both liturgical and celebratory, grounding singers in a sense of communal praise.

Who it's for

This octavo works beautifully for treble or mixed choirs in grades 4-8 and up, or for community and volunteer choirs seeking accessible sacred repertoire with energy and substance. Its two-part writing makes it ideal for singers still building confidence in part independence, while the structural variety and professional sound satisfy more experienced ensembles.

How to get the most out of it

  • Bring out the rhythmic drive in the opening section by having singers feel the pulse in their bodies; Albrecht's syncopation rewards physical engagement and creates infectious energy.
  • Balance the echo passages so they feel like a musical response rather than a mere repetition; this makes the design intentional and dramatic.
  • Use the contrasting "Sing Jubilate Deo" section as an opportunity to shift tone and tempo slightly if your arrangement allows; the textural change is the payoff.
  • Download the optional trumpet and snare drum parts from alfred.com/choralparts to add instrumental color and strengthen the rhythmic foundation for younger singers.

How to use it

Program this as a concert opener or as part of a sacred choral set, where its rhythmic strength and uplifting message establish an energetic tone. It also serves well as a festival or school assembly piece where accessibility and audience engagement matter equally.

  • Part independence in two-part writing
