It was the women who rose to the occasion today for the anthem. Bravo! And thank you. "This setting for three treble voices and continuo uses a text from Psalm 34. The original music was written by German Baroque composer Georg Philipp Telemann and is arranged [by Michael Burkhart] in a way that captures the original feeling of the music in modern notation." You can listen by clicking on Telemann's portrait below (right-click on the picture and chose "Open in New Tab"). |
