O Israel, trust in the Lord - Croft, William

♪

"Edition prepared from "Harmonia coelestis or The Harmony of Heaven imitated" (anthology, London, pub. 1780). This version is considerably simplified from its initial appearance in Croft's Harmonia sacra, in order to prove useful in country parishes. The arranger (probably the publisher) has detached the final chorus from Croft's extended verse anthem ("Out of the deep"), doubled the note values, ironed out rhythms and harmonies, and attached an Hallelujah of unidentified provenance. This piece therefore does not represent Croft's work for Westminster Abbey in his full pomp, but rather the style in which his work was disseminated through the provinces in later Georgian England."
