From 1717 to 1718, Handel composed eleven multi-movement, psalm-based anthems, commonly known as the Chandos Anthems (he was resident composer for the First Duke of Chandos during this period). is setting of verses from Psalm 96 is drawn from Anthem 4b, “O Sing unto the Lord a New Song†(HWV 249b). Chepponis’ thoughtful editing and arranging of this gem—based on original sources, as well as practical considerations— make it accessible to many choirs that may not have the luxury of a large SATB choir. Listen to the recording and follow along with the score in this preview video:.

Through attractive simplicity and a beautiful line, this brief setting of the Aaronic blessing is a great alternative to other, older settings of the text—especially when the total number of tenor-bass singers in your choir is considerably less than that of the sopranos and altos. The two parts sing in octaves mostly, with just a hint of a canon in the final measures.
