O sing unto the Lord a new song (O singet unserm Gott ein neues Lied)
HWV 249b
In comparison with the other anthems composed in Cannons, the fourth (or first) of a total of eleven Cannons Anthems, with the text O sing unto the Lord, HWV 249b, is scored for a smaller ensemble. The present practical edition presents an arrangement for women’s choir with soprano and alto soli in order to make Handel’s composition accessible for choral music for an ensemble type which is otherwise scarcely represented.

Composer
Georg Friedrich Händel
| 1685-1759George Frideric Handel put his exceptionally versatile compositional abilities to the test at an early age. After moving to London in 1712, where he was appointed Composer of Musick for His Majesty’s Chapel Royal in 1723, he wrote numerous masterpieces for the royal court as well as his major opere serie. For many years he enjoyed triumphant successes with his operas, which were sung by outstanding performers, with serenades, and later also with oratorios such as Saul and Israel in Egypt. Over the years Handel’s reputation grew far beyond the city where he worked; some of his choral works, particularly Messiah, have enjoyed a performance tradition which remains unbroken to this day, and are sung by choirs throughout the world.
