This set of
two familiar seasonal
tunes is arranged for
quick success. Intended
to be used throughout all
of Advent, the music is
both approachable and
filled with anticipation,
with a different text for
each week. The addition
of handbells and an
option for congregational
participation will
enhance and heighten the
season's spirit of joy.
This will be your
opening, closing and
theme for a light-filled
Advent observance.

Music for
the ages: the coronation
anthems Zadok the priest,
Let thy hand be
strengthened, The King
shall rejoice and My
heart is inditing, which
Handel composed for the
coronation of George II
in 1727, are true
masterpieces of the
choral literature. The
King shall rejoice was
probably played during
the crowning of the king
in London's Westminster
Abbey.For the
Carus edition, available
either individually or as
a set, musicologist,
composer and flutist Alon
Schab has returned to the
original manuscripts,
paying special attention
to the specific
circumstances that played
a role in the creation of
the anthems. Befitting
such a festive occasion,
Handel’s choir in
1727 was a large ensemble
composed of singers from
two institutions. This
six- or seven-voice
ensemble had to be
carefully balanced to
perform the passages for
four or five voices.
Handel’s
autograph score shows how
he adapted his
composition, originally
conceived for a four- or
five-voice choir, to the
particular circumstances
of the premiere: The
manuscript is peppered
with surprising vocal
doublings, insertions,
and rests, intended to
ensure that, for example,
the few tenors were not
overpowered by the more
numerous altos and
basses, the boy sopranos
harmonized with the
mature voices, and the
chorus blended well with
the instruments in the
rich ambience of
Westminster
Abbey.This
edition traces these ad
hoc additions to reveal a
score that is startlingly
similar to
Handel’s familiar
and beautifully direct
choral style. All
editorial decisions are
thoroughly documented in
the critical
report.

Music for
the ages: the coronation
anthems Zadok the priest,
Let thy hand be
strengthened, The King
shall rejoice and My
heart is inditing, which
Handel composed for the
coronation of George II
in 1727, are true
masterpieces of the
choral literature. The
King shall rejoice was
probably played during
the crowning of the king
in London's Westminster
Abbey.For the
Carus edition, available
either individually or as
a set, musicologist,
composer and flutist Alon
Schab has returned to the
original manuscripts,
paying special attention
to the specific
circumstances that played
a role in the creation of
the anthems. Befitting
such a festive occasion,
Handel’s choir in
1727 was a large ensemble
composed of singers from
two institutions. This
six- or seven-voice
ensemble had to be
carefully balanced to
perform the passages for
four or five voices.
Handel’s
autograph score shows how
he adapted his
composition, originally
conceived for a four- or
five-voice choir, to the
particular circumstances
of the premiere: The
manuscript is peppered
with surprising vocal
doublings, insertions,
and rests, intended to
ensure that, for example,
the few tenors were not
overpowered by the more
numerous altos and
basses, the boy sopranos
harmonized with the
mature voices, and the
chorus blended well with
the instruments in the
rich ambience of
Westminster
Abbey.This
edition traces these ad
hoc additions to reveal a
score that is startlingly
similar to
Handel’s familiar
and beautifully direct
choral style. All
editorial decisions are
thoroughly documented in
the critical
report.
