First
publication of Finzi's
orchestral versions of:
Lo, the full, final
sacrifice op 26 -
festival anthem for
chorus & orchestra
(14 minutes); Magnificat
op 36 - for soloists (ad
lib), chorus &
orchestra (9 minutes);
God is gone up op 27 -
anthem for chorus, string
orchestra & organ (4
minutes); Let us now
praise famous men op 35 -
choral song for tenors
& basses (or sopranos
& altos), string
orchestra & piano (3
minutes). The first three
works as listed are, in
their original organ
versions, established in
the English cathedral
repertoire. Lo, the full,
final sacrifice was
orchestrated for the 1947
Gloucester Three Choirs
Festival, thus bringing
the work into the
mainstream British choral
society repertoire. The
preface by Andrew Burn
(Finzi Trust) gives
details of the
commission, composition
and orchestration of each
work.
