Crowdsourcing the Identification of a Choir/Organ piece

Posted under A Geek Dad's Life, Blog Posts

As I mentioned yesterday, I uncovered a set of audio tapes that our college choir recorded in 1988.  While most of the tapes were labeled with details of their contents, one of the tapes was not.  Of course, that tape contains a work that is eluding our ability to identify its name and composer.  After several hours of searching online on YouTube, iTunes, and some more obscure sites, we have not found a match for the piece.

It is a “Jubilate Deo” for choir and organ recorded by our choir in 1988-89.  There are a lot of “Jubilate Deo” pieces in the wild.  Ours does not appear to be one of the more common ones.  It sounds like a John Rutter composition, but I cannot find a match for it in his compendium.  (Maybe I just didn’t look far enough?)

So I hope to leverage both ‘the human processing power’ and ‘the human generosity’ that is the Internet.  Can you help us?  Do you know the name and composer of this piece?  Extra-extra-super-duper brownie points if you can provide a link to audio/video of someone else’s performance of it to help us confirm the identity.

  Unknown choral work with organ – (played by the epic organist, composer, and all-around super guy Dr. Fred Binckes)
