Sing unto the Lord: SATB: Vocal Score

Bob Chilcott's O Sing Unto The Lord for SATB and Organ. Chilcott's setting of Psalm 96 is bright optimistic and celebratory. The sparkling Organ part and fluctuation between 7/8 and 4/4 metres give the opening and closing sections a dance-like feel while the central section is still soft and reflective.

These four works with their orchestral accompaniments thus represent something akin to a new genre in English church music.The four anthems are presented in clearly laid out vocal scores with straightforward piano reductions based on the Urtext from the Halle Handel Edition. Their enticingly varied and self-sufficient orchestral writing provides a suitable framework for the festive chorus and equally festive solo numbers. Today they sound as splendid as ever!The full scores and vocal scores also contain a German translation along with the original English text.
