Not the Purcell Rejoice in the Lord
This is the old anonymous setting of the text that is the first selection in the Oxford Book of 16th c. Anthems. Formerly attributed to John Redford. It's a lovely work.Purcell's setting of the same text is quite different - for 3 soloists and full choir, with orchestral (or organ) interludes. It's also known as the Bell Anthem because of the cascading effect in the accompaniment that sounds like change-ringing. Of course it is also gorgeous, but not the same piece.I would rate this as at best an intermediate difficulty. If your choir is very familiar with the performance style of 16th century music, this is not difficult to sing -- BUT it is still difficult to sing it WELL as the interweaving vocal lines require pinpoint timing. If your choir does not normally sing this style of music, this is not the place to start because it should be sung very up tempo. Something a little more straightforward and in slower tempo, like If Ye Love Me or Hide Not Thou Thy Face.
