Come, Let Us Sing Unto the Lord

Handel?s three anthems (My song shall be alway HWV 252 O come let us sing HWV 253 O praise the Lord HWV 254) were composed in 1717 and 1718 for Cannons a country estate near to London. They take their nickname the ? Chandos Anthems? from the owner of the estate the First Duke of Chandos .The three pieces are noteworthy for their festive character and their varied orchestral accompaniment. Handel borrows older material from his Italian period and his earlier works for the Chapel Royal in London a standard procedure for this composer who reused particularly successful pieces as starting points for his later works. The scoring for solo voices chorus oboe strings and continuo was tailored to the musical resources of the small country estate. Two additional recorders are needed for ?O come let us sing unto the Lord?.The anthems present the Urtext from the ?Halle Handel Edition? and include uncomplicated and easy-to-play piano reductions. In addition to the original English words the full scores and vocal scores also include a singing translation in German.?The clarity found in these Bärenreiter scores and the excellent keyboard reductions make them very attractive for performers.?(Church Music Quarterly Sept. 2008)

Anthem. Par PURCELL HENRY. The Anthem, in the post-Reformation church music of England was initially the term given to a choral work with an English biblical text. By the end of the 17th century it begins to take on Italian stylistic elements and becomes a cantata for solo voices, choir and orchestra. The anthem 'O sing unto the Lord' presented here, based on words of the 96th Psalm, is a particularly beautiful example of the transformation of the traditional and the modern style into a unified whole.

From 1993 Lauridsen's music rapidly increased in international popularity and by the centuy's end he hadeclipsed Tandall Thompson as the most frequently performed American choral composer'.
