About this arrangement

Chorus (SATB choir a cappella) SKU: HL.48008907 (1944-45) (from This Way to the Tomb) SATB a cappella. Composed by Benjamin Britten. Boosey & Hawkes Sacred Choral. Classical, Contemporary. 12 pages. Boosey & Hawkes #M060014246. Published by Boosey & Hawkes (HL.48008907). UPC: 073999089073. 7x10.5 inches.For SATB unaccompaniedText: Psalm 70Taken from This Way to the Tomb (incidental music to the 'Masque and Anti-Masque')Publisher: Boosey & HawkesDifficulty level: 2This setting of Psalm 70 (Haste thee O God to deliver me) is a fine, passionate and almost completely overlooked anthem which ought to be in the repertoire of most cathedrals and ambitious church choirs. The psalm is a dramatic one and Britten reflects the words in a wide-ranging setting which includes extended sections for tenors/basses and sopranos/altos. He also sets the Gloria.This is not a difficult work but it is not entirely straightforward either. There is no translation in the printed score and conductors need to take a Psalter and annotate the score with a translation so that the words can be fully appreciated and a colourful performance created to reflect them. It is well worth the effort.Duration: 4 minutesPaul Spicer, Lichfield, 2011.
