| Added by magataganm, 03 Jan 2023 Georg Friedrich Händel (1685 – 1759) was a German, later British, baroque composer who spent the bulk of his career in London, becoming well known for his operas, oratorios, anthems, and organ concertos. Handel received important training in Halle and worked as a composer in Hamburg and Italy before settling in London in 1712; he became a naturalised British subject in 1727. He was strongly influenced both by the great composers of the Italian Baroque and by the middle-German polyphonic choral tradition. Chandos Anthems, HWV 246–256, is the common name of a set of anthems written by George Frideric Handel. These sacred choral compositions number eleven; a twelfth of disputed authorship is not considered here. The texts are psalms and combined psalm verses in English. Handel wrote the anthems as composer in residence at Cannons, the court of James Brydges, who became the First Duke of Chandos in 1719. His chapel was not yet finished, and services were therefore held at St Lawrence in Whitchurch. The scoring is intimate, in keeping with the possibilities there. Some of the anthems rely on earlier works, and some were later revised for other purposes. The Chandos Anthems are not anthems of the kind we might today normally think, but rather the kind of multi-movement, cantata-like sacred devotional pieces that first began to pop up in England with Henry Purcell and John Blow in the generation before Handel. No. 11 (HWV 256) "The Lord is my light" Note that the first movement of symphony added later. This is based on Psalms 68 & 76. Source: Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chandos_Anthems). Although originally written for Voice (STB), Violins, Oboes & Basso Continuo (Cello, Bassoon & Bass), I created this Interpretation of the Chandos Anthem No. 10 in Bb Major (HWV 256) for Winds (Flute, Oboe, French Horn & Bassoon) & Strings (2 Violins, Viola & Cello). | |||
