How goodly are thy tents by Frederick A. Ouseley — Lyrics
How goodly are thy tents, O Jacob: and thy tabernacles, O Israel.
As the valleys are they spread forth: as gardens by the river side.
About How goodly are thy tents
Frederick Arthur Gore Ouseley composed this anthem for SATB voices. The text is an English setting of words from the Old Testament, specifically the Book of Numbers. It describes the beauty and abundance of the Israelites' encampments, comparing them to spread-out valleys and riverside gardens. Ouseley's setting is a thoughtful reflection on this imagery, offering a rich and evocative musical interpretation of the scriptural text. The anthem is suitable for a church choir looking for a substantial and uplifting anthem.
