Supply Belcher - An Anthem of Praise: Psalm 100 from The Harmony of Maine 1794


Oregon State University Choir
Conductor, Ron Jeffers

album

Full score to The Harmony of Maine

Supply Belcher not only has one of the most smile provoking and memorable names of the early American hymn writers. he is one of the more interesting to listen to now.  His rhythms might be thought of as interestingly innovative or, if you like what you're already used to, incompetent.  I like it.  And, if you didn't notice, he hailed from my state.

Update:  Charles Ives - Psalm 100 (1898-1899)



Chorus of the Radio-Symphony Orchestra of Stuttgart
Conductor, Friedemann Keck
The bell player is unidentified.
