Recording CreditsRecorded by Matthew Curtis (Choral Tracks) and musicians of the San Francisco Conservatory of Music. Used by permission.
Commissioned and premiered in 1949 by the Boston Symphony Orchestra to honor Dr. Serge Koussevitsky for 25 years of directorship. Roaring ascending scales in the accompaniment reflect the great strength of this Old Testament text. The popularity of this anthem is surpassed only by Thompson's Alleluia.
The "Downloadable Accompaniment Tracks 1-50 singers" bundle contains a part dominant track for each voice part, a balanced voices track, and an accompaniment track if the work is not a cappella (the accompaniment is also included with the part dominant and balanced voices track). Part dominant tracks are the perfect place to start as the highlighted part is dominant with the other parts in the background for reference. The balanced voices track give a full choir balanced volume mix to allow musicians to hear a piece of music as a full performance. The accompaniment track offers the perfect way to practice singing independently and they can even be used in full choir rehearsals or even school performances. Each bundle is licensed to be used by up to 50 users. Please adjust the quantity accordingly if you have more than 50 users.
