Description:
The three Anthems* HWV 252-254 were composed in 1717 and 1718 by George Frideric Handel for Cannons, a royal court near London. The works are also known as the "Chandos Anthems", named after the first Duke of Chandos, who resided at Cannons.
In the three pieces, which impress with their solemn character and varied orchestral accompaniment, Handel used older musical material from his Italian period and from earlier compositions for the London Chapel Royal - a common procedure for his compositional style. Particularly successful movements in turn became the starting point for later compositions. The scoring with soloists, choir, oboe, strings and continuo is based on the musical conditions in the small residence. For "O come let us sing unto the Lord"/"O kommt, lasst uns singen", two recorders are also required.
The anthems are presented according to the Urtext of the "Hallische Händel-Ausgabe" with clear and easy-to-play piano reductions. In addition to the original English text, the scores and piano reductions also contain a singable German translation.
*Anthems:
> My song shall be alway/Mein Lied sing' auf ewig HWV 252 (BA 4292 )
> O come let us sing/O kommt, lasst uns singen HWV 253 (BA 4293)
> O praise the Lord/O preist den Herrn HWV 254 (BA 4291)
