O Give Thanks Unto The Lord

Henry Purcell was an English composer and although incorporating Italian and French stylistic elements into his compositions, Purcell's legacy was a uniquely English form of Baroquemusic. He is generally considered to be one of the greatest English composers; no other native-born English composer approached his fame until Edward Elgar, well into the 19^th century.

Edited byAnthony Lewis and Nigel Fortune for SATB Voices (Verse and Chorus) for this Novello edition, O Give Thanks Unto The Lord is averse anthem composed to the words of Psalm 106 in 1693. A perfect addition ofaBaroque piece to the choir repertoire!
