Mechem’s most popular a cappella motet. The Mormon Tabernacle Choir performs it often and has recorded it.

Press

“Kirke Mechem’s ‘Make a Joyful Noise’ was a bright, sensitive score — both reverent and on the go.”
San Francisco Examiner
“In a medium suffering from a superfluity of academic, pedantic, and commercial products, its artistic professionalism is a welcome exception.”
Recorded Classical Music, 1981
