Description:
For the Carus edition of the Anthems, available individually or as a set, the musicologist, composer and flautist Alon Schab has analyzed the original sources, paying particular attention to the specific circumstances that played a role in the composition of the Anthems. Handel's choir in 1727 was a large ensemble in keeping with the festive occasion. It was made up of singers from two institutions, forming a six- or seven-part ensemble that had to be rebalanced for four- or five-part sections.
Handel's autograph shows that and how he adapted his composition, originally conceived for four to five voices, to the special circumstances of the first performance: the score is peppered with surprising voice doublings, entries and rests, which were intended to ensure that, for example the few tenors are not swallowed up by the more numerous alto and bass voices, that the boy sopranos harmonize with the older singers and that the choir blends ideally with the instruments in the rich ambience of Westminster Abbey.
The edition retraces these ad hoc additions and presents a score that is astonishingly similar to Handel's familiar choral style - direct and sonorous. All editorial decisions are documented in detail in the Critical Report.
