How Gentle God's Commands - 2-Part Mixed Chorus.  The vocal parts stay within medium ranges.  Accessible for the chorus with little time to prepare.  The Piano part is challenging and moves through multiple key changes.  Great hymn for the theme of being grateful for the Savior and trusting in his constant care.

Composed by Siegfried Ochs (formerly attributed to G. F. Handel). Arranged by Curtis Hanson. Sacred. Octavo. 5 pages. Curtis Hanson #820064. Published by Curtis Hanson (A0.1223948).

In this post-pandemic era, demand for octavos for smaller choirs is on the rise. This familiar classic formerly attributed to Handel, later determined to be by the late Romantic conductor and composer Siegfried Ochs, is here re-set for SB voices. Much of the piece is in unison to give it as much fullness and Handelian grandeur as possible. The final recapitulation of the A section provides for optional alto and bass voices for additional texture. This would be a welcome option for those choirs with limited voices.

Composed by G. F. Handel. Arranged by Curtis Hanson. Baroque,Sacred. Octavo. 5 pages. Curtis Hanson #713465. Published by Curtis Hanson (A0.1111187).

In this post-pandemic era, demand for octavos for smaller choirs is on the rise. This fairly well-known work by Handel is here arranged for SB voices. Optional notation for higher or lower voices provides additional harmonic texture. This would be a welcome addition to the library with minimal voices. It would also work as a duet.
