Let the Whole Earth Stand in Awe

This piece, based on Handel's second setting of his Chandos Anthem on Psalm 96, ...
This piece, based on George Frideric Handel’s Chandos Anthem No. 4 “O sing unto the Lord a new song” (HWV 249b), contains the final two choruses of that work: movement 6 “Let the whole earth stand in awe” and movement 7 “Let the heavens rejoice.” It has been arranged by Robert S. Hines for three voices (SAB) instead of the original five- and four-part chorus, necessitating some slight shifting of the voice parts. The keyboard accompaniment was prepared by Gerhard Krapf. The original is one step higher; dynamic indications are those of Handel. Adapted from Psalm 96:9, 11, the text is appointed for Christmas Midnight but is useful throughout the year.
