Double chant in E flat major by William Henry Havergal — Lyrics
Tituli inscriptio, ipsi David. Conserva me, Domine, quoniam speravi in te.
Dixi Domino: Deus meus es tu, quoniam bonorum meorum non eges.
Sanctis qui sunt in terra ejus, mirificavit omnes voluntates meas in eis.
Multiplicatae sunt infirmitates eorum: postea acceleraverunt.
Non congregabo conventicula eorum de sanguinibus, nec memor ero nominum eorum per labia mea.
Dominus pars haereditatis meae, et calicis mei: tu es qui restitues haereditatem meam mihi.
Funes ceciderunt mihi in praeclaris; etenim haereditas mea praeclara est mihi.

About Double chant in E flat major
William Henry Havergal composed this double chant in E flat major for SATB voices. As a staple of Anglican church music, chants like this provide a flexible framework for congregational singing and liturgical text. This setting is suitable for services where both Latin and English texts are used, offering a straightforward and resonant musical structure. The composer's work often reflects the devotional needs of the Anglican tradition, and this chant would serve well in a cathedral or parish setting for psalms or canticles, providing a dignified and unified musical expression.
