The Novello Book of Classic Anthems brings together some of the finest sacred choruses ever written. The collection includes miniature gems, including Edward Elgar?s Ave verum corpus , Henry Purcell?s Thou knowest, Lord, the secrets of our hearts , and Thomas Attwood?s Come, Holy Ghost , and established choral favourites such as Handel?s Hallelujah Chorus , Henry Balfour Gardiner?s Evening Hymn and Samuel Sebastian Wesley?s Blessed be the God and Father . It also covers a number of dramatic extended anthems, suitable for both church choirs and choral societies, such as Edward Naylor?s Vox dicentis: clama , John Stainer?s I saw the Lord and Wesley?s Ascribe unto the Lord , and twentieth-century classics such as William Harris?s Bring us, O Lord God , Patrick Hadley?s My beloved spake , and Edgar Bainton?s And I saw a new heaven . All the pieces have been re-engraved and some, such as Haydn?s The heavens are telling and Brahms?s How lovely are thy dwellings , have newly arranged accompaniments, specifically designed for the Organ. This collection of nineteen anthems covers a wide range of moods and festivals, and offers a delightful concert programme in itself, as well as an essential addition to any choir?s library.
