…Praise him with the sound of the trumpet Praise him with the psaltery and harp...
Eric Ball's setting of Psalm 150 for choir and piano uses verse 1 as a refrain which recurs after verse 2 and also as a finale to the piece. He utilises some word-painting in the verses which concern trumpets, harp, cymbals etc. and then there is an expressive solo section for soprano to the words of the last verse ‘Let everything that hath breath praise the Lord’, which is repeated by the whole choir in harmony, leading to the third and last appearance of the verse 1 refrain.
