Double chant in G major VI

This is a setting of the Anglican chant, a form developed in the 16th century for the singing of the psalms and canticles in cathedrals and parish churches. Havergal’s chant is cast in G major for SATB choir. It is suitable for use in any service of morning or evening prayer, or at special occasions within the church calendar when a sung setting of the liturgical text is required. The music is straightforward, designed for congregational participation as much as for the choir, and offers a dignified and flowing musical setting.
