Anthem-The Anthem in the post-Reformation church music of England was initially the term given to a choral work with an English biblical text. By the end of the 17th century it begins to take on Italian stylistic elements and becomes a cantata for solo voices choir and orchestra. The anthem 'O sing unto the Lord' presented here based on words of the 96th Psalm is a particularly beautiful example of the transformation of the traditional and the modern style into a unified whole.Soprano solo Alto solo Tenor solo Bass solo Mixed choir (SATB) Strings Basso continuoFull score choral score and parts (BA2901) available for sale
