Will iam Croft's career as the leading native-born composer of English church music was established in the period between the death of Purcell and the arrival of Handel in London. His education took place among musicians from Purcell's circle, and his style was modified by the influence of Handel's 'Utrecht' Te Deum and Jubilate of 1713. All the music in this volume was composed for various royal church services that took place between 1709 and 1720, in the Chapel Royal at St James's Palace and in St Paul's Cathedral. The contents include the Te Deum and Jubilate Deo, sung at the coronation of George I, and the anthems The Lord is a sun and a shield, O give thanks unto the Lord, and call upon his name, O give thanks unto the Lord, for he is gracious, and Rejoice in the Lord, O ye righteous.

Performing material is available for rental.

Nine pieces are included in this third volume of anthems for voices and orchestra by John Blow. They were composed during his first decade as a Gentleman of the Chapel Royal and reveal both his indebtedness to the influence of Pelham Humfrey, and his rapid assertion of his own manner.
