A short Flute Ensemble chorale on 'Chester'written and composed by William Billings.The original composition was created and formed in the midst of the American Revolutionary War around 1778. It was one of the most famous songs that came out of that era. Chester was one of the published pieces included inside a book of anthems called The Singing Master's Assistant. A collection of church music 'hymns' for all purposes during the Revolution within the New England colonies. Many of the soldiers and troops of the Continental Army would keep themselves occupied by singing hymn verses around tents and campfires during their time at war. Here is a short excerpt of one of his original hymns written by Billings himself: "What grateful Off'ring shall we bring? What shall we render to this Lord? Loud Hallelujah let us sing, And praise His name on Ev'ry Chord." This is a flute choir arrangement of William Billings original hymn of Chester. May you play it reverently!
