EDITORIAL NOTE
After arriving in London with a grand reputation as an opera composer, Handel soon
proved that he was no less skilled as a composer of church music on a smaller scale.
Handel's so-called Chandos Anthems were written as part of his duties as composer-in-residence at Cannons, the opulent mansion of the first Duke of Chandos, between 1717
and 1718.
This intimate chorus in three voice parts is Handel at his simplest and most expressive.
The middle voice part can be sung by either altos, tenors or perhaps best a mixture of the
two.
All the Chandos Anthems were composed for strings (without viola) and solo wind
instruments, here solo oboe.
The orchestral parts are available separately from the publisher (AMP 0806P).
