I will give thanks unto the Lord

This substantial anthem is suitable for a large choir, with a rich texture for two SATB choirs.

The composer sets the words of praise with a sense of grandeur, moving from intimate personal thanksgiving to a public declaration of faith within the congregation. The music calls for confident singing, with passages of great power and beauty, exploring the full range of the combined forces. It is an ideal choice for a significant occasion or a major service, offering a profound musical and spiritual experience for both choir and listeners.
