About the Composer: Sally K. Albrecht

Since 1987, she has received the ASCAP Special Music Award annually, and her catalog includes over 600 published choral works alongside 75 larger musicals and songbooks.

She has taught at Oakland University (Michigan), Jersey City State College (New Jersey), and Meredith College (North Carolina).

She resides in Wake Forest, North Carolina, with her husband, composer and arranger Jay Althouse.
Why we love this
Albrecht's approach to 3-part writing strikes an ideal balance: the choral writing remains strong and singable without sacrificing musical substance, while the piano accompaniment gives the piece theatrical energy that elevates it beyond typical octavo fare. The fanfare opening immediately signals to an audience that something special is about to unfold, making this a natural showstopper for competitions and formal concert settings.
What to expect
The opening fanfare delivers an immediate spark of joy and ceremony, drawing listeners in with its radiant energy. As the piece unfolds, it maintains that celebratory character while weaving in sophisticated harmonic moments that keep singers engaged and audiences impressed.
Who it's for
This octavo works for choirs at the intermediate level and above who are ready for Latin repertoire and energetic, stylistically confident writing. It suits school and community choirs preparing for festival competitions, invitational concerts, and special liturgical or secular celebrations that call for a bright, festive statement.
How to get the most out of it
- Shape the opening fanfare with clear articulation and rhythmic precision; this moment sets the tone for everything that follows, so invest in unified vowel formation and crisp consonant attacks.
- Balance the Latin text carefully against the piano part. The accompaniment should support without overwhelming the voices, especially during sections where the text carries the emotional weight.
- Lock in the harmonic rhythm internally before adding movement or gesture. With a 3-part texture, intonation clarity becomes even more critical since there are fewer voices to cover missteps.
How to use it
Position this as a concert centerpiece or grand finale, especially when you want to showcase your choir's ability to handle Latin text with confidence and style. It pairs well on a program with either devotional works or contrasting secular pieces, since its formal energy and polished presentation make it a natural anchor for mixed-voice concerts.
