Howard Helvey's How Can I Keep From Singing for SATB (with divisions) unaccompanied. Helvey's skilful arrangement of the popular hymn by American Baptist minister Robert Wadsworth Lowry is joyous and affirmatory. The anthem is suitable for performance throughout the liturgical year and the sweeping melodies contrasting textures and rich harmonies complement the celebratory nature of the text. 'The text is perfect for an encore and the setting is commendably straightforward given the beauty of the original melody with only one change of key and no added accidentals.' - Geffrey Webber Choir &Organ November 2016
