About the Composer: Victor C. Johnson

Victor C. Johnson

Victor C. Johnson has composed and arranged over 500 choral works, vocal solos, and keyboard pieces that are actively performed in schools and concert halls. Based in Dallas, he serves as School Choral Editor for Sing!, the educational publishing arm of Choristers Guild, and brings decades of experience directing choirs at every level.

From 2000 to 2018, Johnson directed multiple ensembles at Ft. Worth Academy of Fine Arts, including the Academy Singers and Academy Men's Choir, and served as artistic director for both the Singing Girls of Texas and Children's Choir of Texas. He currently conducts the Dallas Symphony Children's Chorus Mixed Ensemble, the resident youth choir for the Dallas Symphony Orchestra, and maintains active memberships in the American Choral Directors Association, Texas Music Educators Association, ASCAP, and other professional organizations.

Why we love this

Johnson's gift for blending contemporary harmonic language with accessible singability shines here. The dramatic arc from Latin text to English legato passage and back again gives your choir a genuine musical story to tell, making this equally compelling for an auditioned chamber choir or a larger concert ensemble preparing for festivals.

What to expect

Jubilate, Exsultate! opens with spirited energy and complex harmonic color, then pivots to a moment of lyrical calm before building back to celebratory intensity. The Latin text carries a ceremonial weight, yet Johnson's modern harmonies keep the piece feeling fresh and immediate rather than archaic.

Who it's for

Intermediate to advanced SATB choirs seeking a piece with both exuberance and substance. This works beautifully for ensembles preparing for concert performances or festival competition, and for choirs looking to expand their sacred repertoire with contemporary harmonic language.

How to get the most out of it

  • Shape the legato English language section with sustained, connected phrasing to maximize its contrast against the driving energy of the surrounding Latin material.
  • Let the piano accompaniment set the harmonic color and rhythmic momentum from the start. The accompaniment is not merely supportive but integral to the piece's character.
  • Attend carefully to dynamic balance between parts in the contemporary harmony sections. Johnson's voicing rewards precision and clear part independence.

How to use it

Program this as a concert centerpiece or a festival showstopper where it can anchor a set of sacred choral works. The contrasting textures and emotional trajectory make it equally effective as a standalone feature or as a bridge between more traditional repertoire and contemporary choral writing.

Skills your students will build

  • Reading and singing contemporary harmonic language with confidence
  • Sustaining connected legato phrasing in a contrasting section
  • Balancing independent vocal lines within complex voicing
  • Responding to the emotional arc of a multi-section work
  • Coordinating with a rhythmically active piano accompaniment
