Double chant in F minor III

William Henry Havergal composed this double chant in F minor for SATB choir. As a genre, Anglican chants are short, simple melodies originally devised for the singing of psalms and canticles in services. They are typically sung to a syllabic setting of the text, with a distinctive cadence at the end of each half-verse. Havergal's contribution to this tradition offers a harmonically rich setting suitable for liturgical use. The lack of specific text allows for flexibility in its application within Anglican worship.
