Have you ever performed the work by SSW "The Lord Is My Shepherd"? It's rather more interesting than this one. Let's face it, this is a little 'pedestrian'?
Well I wouldn't call it pedestrian, as the duet in it is quite interesting. Does "The Lord is my Shepherd " have a quartet solo? I seem to vaguely remember such...
I thought this to be quite a find, as I suspect the choirmaster was trolling around CDPL and got lucky.
The Lord is My Shepherd does not have a quartet solo (or semichorus, as I would term it) but it does have a sop/treble solo mid verse. The reason I suggested it is rather more 'anitmated' is because it has uses a 'L'istesso tempo' between a common time passage and a 3/4 passage, and the similarly between the sop solo and then the suceeding chorus as '1 in a bar' (or is that a lonely pub?!) so, in both instances, the tempo naturally picks up. It's a work of contrast.
Well, I'll see if it's on CDPL, and if not, I suspect a call to Brian Jordan is in order. Have to make a call to Cambridge anyhow...a new CD is out from John's. Thanks, it would be nice to do more in the 200th year of his birth!
@choirboyfromhell1 It's mainly by Samuel, with the chorus added by SSW. This explains its somewhat pedestrian, pre-1830s, feel. I uploaded the CPDL text from SSW's The European Psalmist (1872).. I'm pretty sure it hasn't been published since then! This is a rather lovely performance, isn't it? Thanks for posting it.

Is this in the current hymnal?

It's an anthem, and not in any hymnal to my knowledge, at least to this music. However we did sing one from the 1940 hymnal (Pixham). Stay tuned.
