About Behold now, praise the Lord
Hart Pease Danks's Behold now, praise the Lord is a sacred anthem for SATB choir. The work sets a text that combines Latin and English, drawing from Psalm 134. The composer crafts a devotional setting that encourages praise and blessing towards the Lord. The anthem's structure likely reflects the gradual ascent implied by the Canticum graduum, building in intensity and reverence. This piece offers a traditional devotional experience, suitable for services seeking a choral anthem that combines classic liturgical texts with heartfelt musical expression.
