CGA883 I Was Glad Choral Full Score
Description
This stirring anthem based on Psalm 122 is easier than it sounds. Children's voices imitate the adult sopranos in the opening and closing sections in a quasi Renaissance style supported by large blocked chords played by handbells and organ. The more elaborate middle section is sung primarily by the adult choir and features interesting rhythmic infections and colorful key relationships. The optional handbell part is very accessible (AGEHR Level 1+). Give thoughtful consideration to the possibilities here for a choir dedication anthem or theme for your choir year.
Voicing: SATB and children's choirs with organ and optional handbells (3-4 octaves)
Composer: K. Lee Scott
Scripture: 122: 1-7
