SATB Choir, Four Soloists (S, S2 or A, T, and B), and Organ. One of the great Baroque verse anthems! Quintessentially English, this anthem has hints of Handel's Messiah. (Ol' G.F. would have heard this anthem and was known to crib an idea now and again...) The solo parts are quite short and can be divided up. The choir parts are simple! This is a lot of bang for the rehearsal time involved. A wonderful piece in seven short movements.
