The strong, bold character of this short piece is immediately evident in the unison exclamations of the opening fanfare. An imitative section follows with each voice singing an independent melody, yet characterised by similar rhythms and compatible phrases contours. The piece closes with a thick cluster of tones and a short, final exclamation of the text in unison.The old round Viva la Musica is the source of the text and the style was inspired by Viva Tutti and other, similar well-known, robust songs. The text is very repetitive and there should be a sense of buoyancy, clarity and lightness in the articulation. A steady tempo, clear diction, and precise ensemble is important,as is an energetic feeling of rhythm. Though the singing is full and vigorous, there should be a dance-like quality.
