SATB choir, a cappella - Medium Difficult

SKU: PL.9220

Composed by William Billings. Cathedral. Choral, American, Festival, Patriotic. Octavo. Paraclete Press #9220. Published by Paraclete Press (PL.9220).

Subtitled "An Anthem for Fast Day", Billings' "Be Glad Then America" is especially suitable for our American holiday of Thanksgiving or other patriotic-religious observances. It also serves well as a general anthem stressing penitence, hope and praise. A sectional work, six minutes in length, its hymn-like sections and "fuguing" tunes add up to one of the composer's most substantial and colorful compositions from "The Continental Harmony" (1794).
